Our team showcases appraisers who work exclusively in the insurance industry and possess both Accredited Senior Appraiser (ASA) and Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) designation. Considering both credentials are widely regarded as the most coveted by appraisers and insurance professionals respectively, this distinguishing accomplishment emphasizes our commitment to the valuation profession specifically catered to the property insurance industry. Our USPAP certified appraisals are supplemented with additional continuing education efforts including the following coursework: Municipal Appraisal Specifics, Advanced Asset Management Practices for Water and Wastewater Utilities, 350-Sharpening Your Appraisal Tools, Appraisal of Inventory, and 550- Commercial Property Risk Management and Insurance.

Berkley Risk has always been built on a foundation of superior claims service and results; our claims team averages 20+ years of experience and everyone is empowered to resolve issues immediately. Our customer-first culture creates a quality experience for agents and insureds – in person or on-demand, online.

Our goal has become a reality. We serve the insurance industry unlike any other public accounting firm, with our 30 staff members providing financial and administrative services to more than 100 insurance carriers. We have brought a “new day” to the profession. Our fundamental beliefs are, and will always be, to truly make a difference and give our clients the best service possible, to build a Firm where exceptional people choose to work, a Firm that values meaningful relationships within the industry. We’ve coined these fundamentals as “The SB difference.” Each one of us at Strohm Ballweg knows exactly what this means. The more than 100 insurance companies we serve have come to know how it feels. It is our common goal; it is our commitment to the industry.

Governed by a Board of seven Directors, LWMMI offers coverages specifically designed for members and regularly develops and modifies coverages, such as cyber liability, coverage for drones, HIPPA and no-fault sewer backup coverage.

LWMMI’s Directors and staff work to ensure the organization is strong and financially stable. A conservative approach to rates and reserves, a solid reinsurance program with some of the strongest municipal reinsurers in the country and regular independent actuarial reviews all help ensure that LWMMI will remain sound. In fact, by conventional insurance industry measures, LWMMI is stronger financially than many commercial insurance companies.

Similar to Municipalities, LWMMI is efficient in the delivery of services with operational expenses at half of the commercial insurance industry. This leaves flexibility to add additional coverages or keep premiums low.

WMMIC is currently comprised of twenty members – three cities, fifteen counties and two special-use districts. Members purchase general liability (including law enforcement professional), auto liability and public officials’ errors and omissions liability from WMMIC. In addition, WMMIC provides other coverages for members such as excess workers’ compensation, cyber liability, auto physical damage and property. WMMIC also provides claims administration for members for their self-funded workers compensation programs.
