AGENT PARTNERS

Working together to elevate Louisiana one business and one worker at a time

Agents are our first partner in delivering best-in-class workers’ comp insurance and elevating Louisiana.  Since we wrote our first policy together in 1992, we have succeeded by having a strong working relationship, together providing safety and security to policyholders.

Ensuring that our agent partners have the tools they need to be successful is paramount. Our focus is to make sure that you are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide unmatched service to your customers.

OUR COMMITMENT

Improving our partnership through evolving experience enhancements

A major part of our work in elevating Louisiana is enhancing LWCC’s customer experience and meeting the needs of today’s evolving marketplace for our agent partners. Our industry is advancing faster than ever before and if we don't improve our approach, we'll become irrelevant. Working together, we can compete against other direct writers and create a better experience for our clients.
