Alternative risk insurance works the same as a general liability or auto policy, but the program is based on the insured’s comfort level in taking on a larger deductible or retention. It allows the organization to work with AIG to establish specifically designed solutions including captive programs that are compliant with government regulations, but also allow the organization to retain a portion of the risk while working with a licensed adjuster.
