XL London Markets Ltd and other Lloyds operations

US entities please note:

Underwriters at Lloyd's, London ("Underwriters") are licensed only in Kentucky, Illinois, and the US Virgin Islands, but are approved surplus lines insurers in all other US jurisdictions. Insurance policies issued by Underwriters are not protected or guaranteed by state insurance guaranty associations or insolvency funds.

Coverage is available only through licensed surplus lines brokers or you may approach us directly, subject to the limitations of the laws of your state. Persons or companies that do so directly need to make themselves familiar with state laws governing the placement of insurance risks with non-admitted insurers. A number of jurisdictions have Industrial Insured Exemptions or Large Commercial Insured Exemptions, which govern direct placements. Typically, these require an insured to have a full-time insurance risk manager or a continuously retained insurance consultant and a minimum number of employees and amount of annual premium.

In many jurisdictions, direct and/or industrial insured placements are subject to reporting and taxation requirements. Generally, such reporting and taxation are the responsibility of the insured.

Because insurance laws governing surplus lines and direct and industrial insured placements vary among the jurisdictions with regard to the requirements and obligations of the insured and any broker or consultant involved, a careful review of your jurisdiction's laws should be made before deciding which procedure is best for you.
