THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2009 ADVERTISING SECTION AMERICAN PRESS 23 ■ AMERISAFE, INC. Turning workers’ compensation risk into opportunity 0 0 5 5 7 7 5 6 AMERISAFE is an insurance holding company and was incorporated in Texas in 1985. The company began operations in 1986 by focusing on workers compensation insurance for logging contractors in the southeast United States. In 1994, they expanded their focus to include the other hazardous industries they serve today. Two of their three insurance subsidiaries, American Interstate Insurance Company and Silver Oak Casualty, are domiciled in Louisiana. Their other insurance subsidiary, American Interstate Insurance Company of Texas, is domiciled in Texas. Amerisafe is a leading provider of workers' compensation services, doing business in more than 30 states with approximately 460 employees nationwide. The companys’ success has been achieved by the talent, energy, effectiveness and team spirit of its people. As they continue to grow, they constantly seek careerminded, service-oriented professionals to fill a range of positions in a variety of locations. Amerisafe has employees in accounting and finance, claims, information technology, marketing, premium audit, regulatory (legal), safety, sales, and underwriting. The company strongly believes in the person-to-person delivery of comprehensive effective services to their clients. Half of their employees are spread throughout the United States located close to the clients and their needs. The other half serve in their DeRidder headquarters, in two modern office facilities in a casual campus environment. DeRidder is a family-friendly small town with a moderate climate and a reasonable cost of living. Located in the west central area of Louisiana, DeRidder is surrounded by pine forests, family farms and gently rolling terrain. Amerisafe is a specialty provider of workers' compensation insurance focused on small- to mid-sized employers engaged in hazardous industries, principally construction, trucking, agriculture, logging, oil and gas, maritime and sawmills. They provide coverage to employers under state and federal workers' compensation laws. Their workers' compensation insurance policies provide benefits to injured employees for, among other things, temporary or permanent disability, death and medical and hospital expenses. The company employs a proactive, disciplined approach in underwriting employers and providing comprehensive services intended to lessen the overall incidence and cost of workplace injuries. They provide safety services at employers' workplaces as a vital component of their underwriting process and to promote safer workplaces. The Company utilizes intensive claims management practices that they believe reduce the overall cost of their claims. In addition, their audit services ensure that their policyholders pay the appropriate premiums required under the terms of their policies and enable them to monitor payroll patterns that cause underwriting, safety or fraud concerns. Their competitive advantages include their experienced underwriting team, safety services, claims management practices, their A.M. Best rating of "A-" (Excellent), their information technology and their ability to reduce claims through implementation of their work safety programs. In addition, Amerisafe believes that their insurance is competitively priced and their premium rates are typically lower than those for policyholders assigned to the state insurance pools, allowing them to provide a viable alternative for policyholders in those pools. Amerisafe’s mission is to provide quality insurance services to their customers through diligent risk assessment. They will deliver an exceptional product with integrity through professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated empolyees. Amerisafe’s vision is to turn risk into opportunity through the efforts of their employees.
