Casualty risk profiles change almost daily. The legal and regulatory environment constantly evolves. The marketplace fluctuates, and exposures only seem to grow, in number, scope and complexity. Mold, asbestos, silica, terrorism, the effect of employee concentration on Workers' Compensation coverage - these are among the many Casualty issues that can weigh heavily on a company's future.

The Willis Casualty Practice Group engages with clients in the formulation, design and execution of sophisticated risk management programs to address these risks. We work in the context of your broadest objectives and your risk tolerance. Our rigorous risk evaluation, assessment and structuring techniques are all customized for each client's situation. Through in-depth, ongoing dialogue, we attempt to fully understand your goals, and from this discussion present a variety of alternatives and options that best meet your long-term objectives.

The simple term Casualty describes several complex areas of risk, from Automobile and General Liability to Product Liability and Workers' Compensation. Although often treated separately, we believe that these exposures are best approached with a pragmatic, cohesive strategy. The Willis Casualty Practice has the insight, experience and resources to accomplish this difficult and crucial goal.

Mastering the Marketplace

The Casualty Practice Group stays fully abreast of changes in the marketplace and in the legal and regulatory environment affecting the major Casualty coverages. We share directly with clients not only product news and other timely updates, but, through our newsletters and white papers, in-depth analysis of emerging risks, market events and trends. In the Willis marketing model, the team that devises a risk management strategy approaches the markets on your behalf. This keeps you close to the process and helps bring about the best possible placements.

Working with clients in a diverse array of industries and locations, we are especially adept at crafting highly customized solutions that provide responsive and creative risk management program alternatives for almost any type of organizational situation or circumstance.
