RISICO INSURANCE SERVICES

Providing a full service insurance company solution by offering specialized insurance products and services that deliver superior underwriting and risk management results rarely seen in today’s market.

UNDERWRITING AND POLICY SERVICES

Risico has been a leading Managing General Agency in the California Workers’ Compensation insurance market since 1993.

With over a billion dollars in premiums generated, our decades of experience and focus in underwriting, policy issuance, premium billing, final audit, loss control, claims administration and managed care allow us to mimic more of an insurance company than an MGA.

While our competitors are reacting to the current underwriting cycle, we take a long-term approach to the marketplace and our business relationships. Our insureds, brokers and carrier partners rest assured knowing that when it is time to deliver, we will be there.

CLAIMS MANAGEMENT

We specialize in the adjustment of Workers’ Compensation claims in California for the agriculture industry.

Our effective claims management services begin with a qualified, experienced and bilingual staff making the best decisions, early and consistently, to quickly close claims at the lowest possible cost.

Through our efficiency and effectiveness, we are able to maximize savings and generate industry-leading results.

LOSS CONTROL

With over 50 years’ combined experience, we have one of the most knowledgeable loss control teams in the industry.

Our bilingual loss control professionals can inspect and evaluate facilities, equipment and operations to identify hazards or behaviors that may give rise to claims, and then assist in developing a program to help mitigate or eliminate those exposures.

Ultimately, we understand that the best way to protect your bottom line is to control losses by preventing them before they happen.

CALIFORNIA’S AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY

Agriculture is a major industry in the Golden State. With over 80,000 farms and ranches producing approximately 400 commodities, California agriculture is a $46.4-billion industry that generates at least $100-billion in related economic activity.

The state produces nearly half of all US-grown fruits, nuts and vegetables. Across the globe, consumers regularly purchase several crops produced solely in California.
