As a result of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, preliminary estimates indicate a pre-tax loss to Protective of $20 million from its assumed reinsurance participations. The loss, after tax, equates to a $1.07 or 4.4% reduction in book value per share.
Baldwin & Lyons specializes in marketing and underwriting casualty insurance. Its Protective Insurance subsidiary is licensed throughout the U.S. and Canada to write property and casualty insurance for large trucking fleets with substantial self-insurance and for medium-sized trucking companies with small deductibles.
