Insurance Director Bruce Ramge has approved the two property/casualty insurance companies to domicile in Nebraska.

American Interstate Insurance Co. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Silver Oak Casualty Inc., were previously domiciled in Louisiana. Both are subsidiaries of Amerisafe Inc.

American Interstate is a specialty provider of workers’ compensation insurance focused on small to mid-sized employers engaged in hazardous industries, particularly construction, manufacturing, trucking and agriculture.

These companies will have headquarters in Omaha and expect to hire approximately five to 10 employees in that location, according to the insurance department.
