Accident Fund Holdings Inc. has created Third Coast Underwriters – a new, Chicago-based, specialty markets operation that will offer workers’ compensation insurance for underserved markets that have complex risks.
Third Coast Underwriters will offer policies written on the paper of one of the Accident Fund Holdings Inc. workers’ compensation insurance companies, with a $150,000 minimum premium for specialty markets such as construction, emerging markets (i.e. clean energy and green jobs), non-trucking transportation (i.e. garbage haulers and bus drivers) and mergers and acquisitions.
Marguerite Dixen is the president of Third Coast Underwriters. The company is appointing agents located in Illinois and Missouri with plans to grow regionally and nationally.
Dixen has 25 years of experience in the property/casualty insurance industry. Before starting Third Coast Underwriters, Dixen was senior vice president for the construction division at SeaBright Insurance Co. in Chicago.
Dixen is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriter, as well as an Associate in Risk Management.
Third Coast Underwriters is backed by Accident Fund Holdings Inc., which is headquartered in Lansing, Mich.
