MBI understands the importance of risk management and the ability for our members to secure quality workers' compensation insurance coverage.  Because of this, MBI has partnered with Midwest Builders' Casualty (MWBC) to provide members with access to its specialized workers' compensation insurance program.  MWBC has focused on providing coverage to the commercial construction industry throughout the Midwest for over thirty years. They understand the construction industry and have built their program on fostering long-term partnerships by maintaining both competitive and stable pricing, while not overreacting when claims occur.  MWBC is also a dividend paying program that utilizes the most generous loss ratio for dividend qualification purposes in the industry.  However, the strongest selling point to the MBI Board was the fact that 98% or more of MWBC's policyholders elect to renew coverage with them annually.   

 

MBI remains committed to only endorsing a very select few products or programs, and only after very careful consideration. We would encourage you to ask your agent to obtain a competitive quote from Midwest Builders' Casualty at your next renewal.  For more information on this program please have your agent contact Tracy Faber at Midwest Builders' Casualty at (800) 374-7798 or at tfaber@mwbc.com.
