Westfield Specialty, a unit of Westfield Insurance Co., said Thursday its Westfield Pro unit plans to expand its errors and omissions and cyber liability coverage, which to date has been offered on an excess-only-basis, to the primary layer.
Westfield Specialty Executive Vice President Jeff Kulikowski said in a statement the insurer can offer primary and excess limits of up to $10 million, although the actual limit will be determined on an individual risk basis.
The insurer said it has added underwriters in New York, Chicago and Alpharetta, Georgia, over the past few months and is expanding to the West Coast.
It now underwrites five business lines: excess and surplus lines property, excess casualty, financial institutions, commercial management liability, and cyber and professional liability.
Westfield Specialty also said it has named Sara Trokan as senior vice president, specialty claims. Ms. Trokan was formerly vice president, claim handling, cyber and privacy liability claims at Chubb Ltd.
Launched in July 2021, Westfield Specialty is led by Jack Kuhn, former CEO of global insurance at Sompo International Holdings Ltd.
