We will consider difficult risks that others may turn away.
Our difference is our underwriters, who have:
- The experience to write risks that other underwriters would decline;
- The seniority and authority to make quick decisions;
- Specialized knowledge of a wide range of industries; and
- The flexibility to manuscript coverage to create the risk transfer solutions that best support your clients’ needs.
Our underwriters have other distinct advantages, including the support of:
- LIU loss control engineers who go on site, identify potential exposures and recommend ways to control those risks. They, too, bring years of experience in a wide range of industries;
- LIU claims professionals who work aggressively to protect your clients’ interests. They have ready access to outside resources – lawyers, independent adjusters and other experts – who can vigorously defend a company’s reputation and resources
- Offices throughout the U.S.

Liberty International Underwriters is the marketing name for the
broker-distributed specialty lines business operations of Liberty Mutual Group. Certain coverage may be provided by a surplus lines insurer. Surplus lines insurers do not generally participate in state guaranty funds and insureds are therefore not protected by such funds.
