Bridgefield Casualty to Write Workers' Comp in Kentucky

Lakeland, FL-based Summit Consulting announced that it is expanding the operation of Bridgefield Casualty Insurance Company to Kentucky.

Managed by Summit Consulting, Bridgefield Casualty began writing policies in Florida in 1995 and quickly grew to become one of the state's leading workers' compensation insurance companies. It began writing workers' compensation coverage in Louisiana in 1998 and was approved earlier this month to begin writing in Mississippi.

Ricky Hodges, president of Summit Consulting, Inc., says, ``We're very familiar with the Kentucky market through our administration of the Kentucky Retail Federation Self Insurers Fund, and we believe that Bridgefield Casualty will be well received.''

Bridgefield Casualty specializes in writing workers' compensation coverage for contractors, manufacturers and public entities. It provides employers with comprehensive services, including loss control consultations, premium audits and claims adjusting. Summit Consulting is a wholly owned subsidiary of Summit Holding Southeast, which is a subsidiary of Boston-based Liberty Mutual Group.
