What Are the Key Differences Between AIG and Newfront General Liability Insurance?

Program participation and broker placement

AIG’s directory documents GL within programs for specific audiences such as manufactured housing, crane operators and towing businesses. Newfront lists GL in its casualty program and says its practice works with companies of every size and scope. If your class appears in AIG’s directory, request those program terms; Newfront’s description points to a consultation and carrier placement tailored to the account. Ask both whether your precise operations fit the proposed market. [1] [5]

Service and structure questions

Newfront says it can structure guaranteed-cost, large-deductible, self-insurance and captive programs; AIG’s record describes program administrator support and underwriting resources. These are distinct placement structures, so compare the retention or risk funding your business would carry, not just the headline premium. AIG’s listed program may have its own arrangement; request the applicable structure and declarations. [5] [1]

Claims advocacy and administration

Newfront describes claims advocacy through resolution and integrated risk-control resources for its casualty clients. AIG describes claims and loss-control teams supporting program administrators. Ask who receives a GL claim first, which team advocates for your business, and whether the service applies to your particular program or placement. Neither public record states your policy’s limits or exclusions. [5] [1]
