When National Underwriter editors contacted roughly a dozen participants in the excess and surplus lines market late last year, we didn't anticipate that a flood of responses would turn into a two-part feature.
However, when short descriptions started pouring in–like “a river float boat full of nuns from a convent” and “the Great American Bigfoot Research Organization–we had to ask for more details to fill in the “what,” “why” and “how,” leaving us no choice but to expand our feature over the course of two weeks.
Still, we haven't given you everything–and we know there are more stories just waiting to be told. As was the case last week, we attempt here to present the best examples that answered the question of “how”–demonstrating the ability of the market to respond with unique solutions, rather than limiting our focus to the wildest risk descriptions we received.
