Workers’ compensation was one of the most popular markets to look for in 2011. Rates in this segment firmed overall throughout the year though some states still saw some slight decreases. While carriers are still bullish on the segment overall and looking to write business, monoline excess coverage capacity is tight.
Trucking was another hot topic in 2011. This is intriguing in that trucking is often a leading metric for economic activity and could portend brighter things for the economy in general. Of course on the flip side, temporary staffing was another highly searched item as the jobless rate continues to hover around 9 percent nationally. The most searched for markets in 2011 were:
- Workers’ compensation
- Trucking
- Tow trucks
- Homeowners (HO-3)
- Truckers/trucking firms
- Commercial property
- Restaurants
- Temporary staffing firms
- Apartments
- Trucks – long haul
- Used car dealers
- Nonprofit organizations
- Private investigators
- Security guards
- Staffing firms
- Cyber liability
