Houston Risk Management Firm’s CEO Featured in Property Casualty 360 Magazine

(PRWEB) January 22, 2013

Houston risk management firm’s own president & CEO was recently featured in Property and Casualty 360 Magazine, providing insights into the 2013 forecast for upcoming challenges and opportunities for top insurance producers.

The number of natural catastrophes and high losses that have been occurring the past few years is predicted to undoubtedly bring rate increases as well. As part of his analysis for a forecast of 2013:

“Rates are going to have to increase to help offset the losses from all the natural disasters that have been occurring over the past few years,” Karkowsky tells Property Casualty 360. “Carriers will begin limiting their exposure wherever they can by increasing deductibles and using sublimits. And customers are going to be hit with premium increases they haven’t seen in a while.”

With things shifting in the insurance world this coming year, Frank Karkowsky addressed the issue of competition in the marketplace potentially being the biggest challenge for 2013.

Karkowsky also advised small businesses not to overlook the need for executive-risk policies. Lawsuits targeted against small businesses are on the rise for employment related practices, directors and officers, cyber and other executive-risk type lawsuits. Businesses should strongly consider purchasing these types of policies this year to adequately protect themselves.
