Fee-only, fractional risk management

Know if you're overpaying.Know what's missing.

Insurance is a six- or seven-figure decision, and most companies make it with only one side of the table advising them. We fix that: a fee-only, fractional risk management team. You pay us, no carrier does, and our only job is getting your coverage right and your cost of risk down.

You don't have to change brokers — only how you buy. Keep whoever you work with today. Your incumbent competes in the process like everyone else, and keeps the account if they win it based on your criteria.

1How we count these

All MetRisk Services fee-only clients over the last 10 years, including accounts where we found little, from the outcomes report we prepare for each account every year. Outcomes are claim recoveries, experience-mod reductions, dividends, and premium reductions against the prior year's premium. $3.20 is those outcomes divided by the fees the same clients paid MetRisk.

The problem

The renewal process is broken by design.

Four structural failures, baked into how insurance is bought. It doesn't need to be this way.

What it costs

You never find out whether your program was designed properly until a claim hits.

One design flaw. Toxic mold behind the walls.

01

A subcontractor installs the curtain wall on a newly built tower. Field adjustments to the frames leave the design flawed, and rain gets in behind the masonry. Black mold spreads behind the walls of every unit stacked in one line of the building, from floor to floor, and makes the building a health hazard for the people inside.

General liability forms commonly exclude design, construction errors and omissions, and mold. How would yours respond?

One fraudulent email. $1.9M gone.

02

A trusted subcontractor emails updated bank details so the GC can pay them in time to make payroll. Hackers had been inside the sub's email, watching and waiting. The GC wires $1.9M to cover an overdue invoice. It was not the subcontractor's account. Imagine that phone call.

Crime and cyber forms treat social engineering very differently. Here, the cyber policy did not cover it. Do you know which policy would?

One trip to the store. No coverage.

03

At Christmas, an elderly client of a home healthcare agency wanted to go grocery shopping to cook for the holidays. Against the agency's rules, the aide took her. She fell in the parking lot and broke her hip.

General liability didn't respond. The professional liability would have, except for an exclusion of bodily injury beyond the four walls of the client's home. The cheap program proved costly.

All three are true. None of these are exotic. They're ordinary exposures with ordinary answers — provided someone asks the question before the claim instead of after. That's the entire job, and the part almost nobody gets paid to do.

In their words

Claims that could have gone the other way.

“Cut our EMR in half”“Over $1.3 million in dividends”“A 40% premium reduction”“Completely exonerating our team”
Workers' comp

“Cut our EMR in half”

“When our Workers' Comp Experience Modification Rate (EMR) climbed above 2.0, we were facing a 50% premium increase that pushed our annual expenditure well into the seven-figure range. While other consultants and brokers simply threw up their hands—claiming our 'challenged' workforce made claim prevention impossible—MetRisk stepped in with their specialized 'Comp Care System.' In 18 months, they cut our EMR in half through aggressive claims management and staff training. Beyond the immediate savings, they transitioned us to a reward-based program that has returned over $1.3 million in dividends to our bottom line. MetRisk's unique combination of high-level systems and expert personnel delivered results that we simply could not have achieved on our own.”

Claims compression

“Reduced our incurred losses by a staggering 73%”

“Before partnering with MetRisk, we relied on a consultant and a large, publicly traded broker who focused solely on shopping our account for better rates. When claims frequency began to climb, both parties essentially gave up, blaming the 'hard market' for our rising costs. We were being drained by nuisance and fraudulent claims that decimated our profitability. The MetRisk team stepped in with a radically different, aggressive strategy. By implementing their '48 Protocol' and taking direct control of the claims process, they reduced our incurred losses by a staggering 73%. This aggressive strategy allowed us to restructure our program and achieve a 40% premium reduction—even as our NYC multi-family real estate peers saw 15% increases. MetRisk is the strategic partner you need to turn claims into a competitive advantage.”

Claim defense

“Completely exonerating our team”

“We were facing a catastrophic claim after torrential rain flooded the entire 14-story 'A-line' of a building where we were repairing the parapet. Despite the extreme weather, management held us responsible because we were active on the roof. We immediately called MetRisk, and they activated their '911 Claim Protocol.' Within hours, they had an independent engineer on-site performing a forensic diagnostic. Their investigation proved that the building's infrastructure was at fault, completely exonerating our team. MetRisk is the partner you want in your corner when the stakes are highest.”

Liability transfer

“We successfully transferred the entire liability back to the negligent contractor”

“During a major construction project for Nordstrom's, a contractor left a significant opening in the building's envelope secured only by plywood. Our pipes froze, flooding the building and causing extensive damage to our mechanical systems and tenant spaces. MetRisk mobilized an attorney and engineer over the weekend to investigate. Thanks to their expert intervention, we successfully transferred the entire liability back to the negligent contractor. MetRisk's rapid response didn't just mitigate damage; it protected our loss history and shifted a massive financial burden away from our company.”

EMR correction

“Restored our rating before it impacted our business”

“We're heavily involved in WRAP and CCIP programs, so maintaining a clean Experience Modification Rate (EMR) is critical to our bidding capacity. When our EMR unexpectedly spiked despite a clean claims history, MetRisk identified the anomaly immediately through their proactive weekly monitoring. They discovered that a WRAP Administrator on a specific CCIP project had incorrectly reported a significant claim against our ID number, coordinated the correction, and restored our rating before it impacted our business. Their expertise in year-round risk management is a game-changer.”
