Coastal Risk Expands into Louisiana, Florida

Coastal Risk Underwriters (CRU), a subsidiary of Insight Catastrophe Group, will begin writing homeowners insurance in Louisiana and 15 counties in Florida.

CRU provides insurance capacity to large national and regional specialty channels, as well as through independent agents and brokers. CRU already offers residential property capacity in Alabama, New York and South Carolina. The company anticipates expanding into Virginia later this year and several additional states in 2012.
