Company Description

Berkley Risk Administrators Company, LLC is a nationwide provider of risk management services. We offer comprehensive tools to reduce both the frequency and severity of claims. Additionally, we structure loss sensitive insurance products which allow our customers to further benefit from reductions in the cost of claims.

Berkley Risk also operates Riverport Insurance Company, a member company of W. R. Berkley Corporation.

Claims Services.
We are a national third-party administrator of workers’ compensation and property and casualty claims, adjusting over 100,000 claims annually. We strive to reduce the cost of claims by maintaining a highly experienced staff of claims adjusters, using comprehensive medical cost containment strategies, and minimizing allocated loss adjustment expenses.

We offer customer access to data through an online portal called eTools. eTools provides claim file details, adjuster notes, and data exports in both Adobe™ and Excel™. We also offer ad hoc reporting capabilities.

We provide claim services to a variety of organizations, including self-insureds, captives, governmental entities, risk retention groups, and insurance companies.

Loss Control.
We offer loss control both in conjunction with our claims services and on an unbundled basis. We focus on behavior based loss control services augmented by physical surveys. Our loss control experts work hand-in-hand with our claims services and underwriters allowing us to identify and mitigate negative trends.

Alternative Risk Financing.
We structure a variety of alternative risk financing strategies using “best practice” methods, which focus on an efficient means to capture cost of risk reductions. These alternative solutions include captives, risk retention groups, large deductibles and other loss sensitive insurance products.

Program Management.
We provide management services to a broad set of insurance entities, including assigned risk plans, public entity pools, captives, and self-insured groups. In addition to providing claims and loss control services, we provide: statutory and GAAP accounting, policy issuance, statistical reporting, reinsurance management and underwriting. We are the nation's third largest servicing carrier for workers’ compensation Assigned Risk Plans.

How Berkley Risk Administrators is Different

Flexibility in the development of effective client solutions through a wide range of specialized professional services, access to high quality issuing carriers and reinsurers, actively monitoring performance, and fiscal responsibility are the key components that allow us to produce demonstrable results.
