CONQUERING TEAM DYSFUNCTION
CONTENTS
Today’s insurance marketplace continues to
become more complex. The commercial auto
market in Ontario is becoming a very difficult environment. Losses for insurance
companies on commercial auto continue to grow and as such terms, price and
conditions continue to get worse for clients. More than ever clients need brokers
with Bright Ideas to help them manage their insurance costs. Without the right
broker, clients with commercial auto exposure could end up with significant
premium increases or worst terms and conditions. Jones DesLauriers is one of
the largest commercial auto brokers in Ontario specializing in Transportation
and Construction fleets. Our team has a wide-range of experience in providing
innovative solutions both in traditional markets as well as through captive
programs. In the commercial property and casualty segment, our team has access
to the most markets of any broker in Ontario. This, combined with our volume
with the insurance companies, allows our Expert Advisors to provide their clients
with “bright ideas that help mitigate risk and lower their total cost of risk.”
If your insurance broker is not providing you with Bright Ideas, I would suggest that
there is an opportunity to change your insurance broker. Call Jones DesLauriers
and ask for one of our expert advisors to review your current portfolio. After
reviewing your portfolio and providing an audit, our professionals will provide you
with Bright Ideas to lower your costs or enhance your coverage. In doing so, you
will gain access to all of the services Jones DesLauriers can offer a client.
