Why AIG

Underwriting Excellence & Creative Solutions

Issue: A global manufacturing firm with increasing complex property risks had its global property capacity reduced  by their incumbent carrier.

Solution: AIG brought together our integrated global resources, including expert underwriters, risk engineering and claims, to truly understand the client’s unique risks, enabling us to put forth meaningful capacity in support of the client’s risk management objectives.

Benefit: The client maintained their program integrity around  the world without disruption to its local policy issuance and compliance.

Why is this important?

AIG’s integrated global capabilities delivers customized and unparalleled property solutions.

Proven Claims Expertise

Issue: A large university with multiple campuses experienced poor claims handling from its incumbent insurer and sought a new carrier with proven claims expertise  and the ability to respond rapidly.

Solution: AIG Retail Property delivered a customized program inclusive of the AIG Property Claims Promise supported  by our in-house property claims team.

Benefit: The client partnered with a carrier that understands its industry with the confidence that claims will be addressed quickly; AIG promises to provide working funds of up to 50% of its share of the agreed property damage estimate within 7 days after coverage is confirmed.

Why is this important?

AIG’s Property claims team partners with clients  to resolve claims quickly.

Risk Engineering

Issue: A hospital network had a poor risk profile and had difficulty finding an insurance carrier that would agree  to continue insuring their property risks.

Solution: AIG risk engineers worked with the hospital network to better understand their properties, identify opportunities for enhancements and create an agreed upon risk improvement plan. This collaboration resulted in a successful property insurance program that met the needs of both AIG and the client.

Benefit: The client received appropriate coverages as result of their collaboration with AIG risk engineering and underwriting, as well as a go-forward plan for continued improvements to their risk profile.
