Tell us about Mid-Continent Group Mid-Continent Group believes that specialized expertise creates value for our agents and insureds. We work hard to develop expertly-crafted insurance solutions for well-run businesses that have potential for severe claims. Our agents tell us coverage for these businesses is often difficult to place with a strong insurer. Most insurers have a limited appetite for tougher risks presented by smaller accounts. Our specialty focus enables us to develop solutions to address the unique needs of these businesses, which are often underserved by the insurance industry. In order to provide insightful solutions and market stability, we have limited our product focus to General Liability, Umbrella, Commercial Auto and Inland Marine. Mid-Continent Group prefers to address unique customer needs in these product lines rather than taking a generalist approach. This specialized expertise allows us to work with agents to develop successful specialty niche programs, as well as underwrite individual risks in underserved markets.
