    Seeing some really krazy quotes flying around these days. Worked on a habitational risk, over $1mm in premium, lots and lots of claims.
    A new broker came in with a quote of roughly half the expiring – !?!?! Half!It is exceedingly ridiculous in the marketplace these days.

    Was the company QBE? I have seen a big change in their pricing lately. Not sure what caused their change in approach.

    Had a similar account based in Kirkland, WA but handled by broker in Anchorage.

    The cliams will eat the company alive so it will be back on the market in a year!

    So just what is this article trying to say? Have they seen the Midwest??? You ought to see some quotes coming out of Traveler’s, Allied, and Indiana. I don’t think that they know what underwriting discipline is! We’re sitting this one out, and we’ll scoop it all up when these clowns get out of the center ring.
