The structure of insurance has changed over the years. While still a valuable asset for the protection against injury to people and property, changes in the market have made the acquisition of insurance more complex and expensive. Deductibles, self-insured retention, and “fronting policies” can shift the cost dynamic from the insurance company to the policyholder. Interfacing with insurance companies and their third-party administrators has become sensitive because of increasingly limited insurer coverage positions.
