FROM OUR INCEPTION IN 1972,
Eastern
States has served a wide range of leading firms within the
Transportation industry. We have helped numerous trucking companies,
freight forwarders, school bus and motor coach operators, distributors,
warehousers, and similar enterprises with their insurance and risk
management needs. This history of service and client
satisfaction has given us a comprehensive overview of various insurance
alternatives, as well as an established rapport with underwriters who focus on
specific niches within the Transportation field. Our access to specialized
providers of Ocean Cargo, Motor Truck Cargo, Warehouseman's Legal Liability, and
other Marine coverages has enabled us to provide up- graded protection while
reducing costs. Freight Forwarders, for example, benefit from our ability to
obtain specialized coverages like Ocean & Air Cargo insurance, Errors &
Omissions liability, and various Financial Guarantee and Permit bonds. All
Eastern States coverages are provided by financially stable carriers with
worldwide facilities to settle overseas claims.
Eastern States'
expertise in insuring School Bus, Motor Coach and Public Livery companies
provides those clients with many competitive advantages, such as summer
suspension credits, composite rating and excess limits. Additionally, we provide
MVR services, co-ordinate Loss Control services, and oversee the proper issuance
of filings.
Workers Compensation is yet another crucial and
expensive area of coverage too often overlooked by Transportation insurance
providers — but never overlooked by Eastern States. We use a wide variety of
Workers Compensation alternatives such as Retros, Self-Insured Groups and
Deductible Plans that save our clients premium dollars, while improving claims
and loss control services.
The intensive claim services required
by Transportation firms, have prompted us to develop personalized Fleet and
Workers Compensation claims tracking sytems. Our in-house claims department
integrates standard industry claims information with our own customized data to
help clients pinpoint loss frequency and severity problems associated with
drivers, routes, or other criteria. Those problems are then addressed, resulting
in both short and long-term savings for all Eastern States Insurance clients. |
