The Underwriters Group (TUG) was founded in 1941 with the mission of building a smarter bottom line for clients. By combining professional customer service with a broad range of insurance expertise, TUG became a leader in commercial insurance products. In 2021, The Underwriters Group joined Higginbotham as the regional anchor serving Kentucky and surrounding states. Now, operating under the Higginbotham name, our Louisville team offers expanded resources paired with the personal service that The Underwriters Group became known for in Kentucky and beyond.
As one of the largest independent insurance, HR and financial services providers in the country, Higginbotham’s team in Louisville can provide a broad spectrum of insurance products, services and expertise. No matter the industry, we’re capable of creating comprehensive insurance solutions that are designed to help your business grow.
We begin with a thorough review and analysis of your needs and objectives, working together with you to determine the insurance policies and providers that suit your business. We leverage our carrier relationships and review a wide range of available rates and coverages to help you understand your options and select the best long-term business insurance solution. But, our support doesn’t end once your insurance policy begins. Our team is there for you year-round with support in risk management, loss control, claims management and more, thanks to Higginbotham’s in-house Day Two Services®.
At Higginbotham, we combine innovative talent with industry experience to provide benefit solutions to our clients. Our team regularly pursues continuing education opportunities while keeping abreast of current industry trends. Our continual research in the industry affords us the ability to provide timely communication to our customers of the most up-to-date standards.
We work with a large variety of carriers to offer our clients a diverse offering of the following products:
Employee benefits can be one of the most complicated (and costly) parts of running a business, but they don’t have to be. You deserve customized solutions and personalized service that makes insurance easier and more efficient, and we’re here to provide just that.
Health can be both personal and financial, so our relationships with reputable national insurance carriers help you get the employee benefits you need and the cost control remedies you want. We can help our clients to secure a range of coverages, including medical, disability, dental, vision and life insurance. And, with flexible options like HSAs, HRAs, FSAs and voluntary worksite benefits, you can tailor your organization’s benefits program to meet the needs of your team.
Our Employee Dispute Resolution (EDR) services allow your employees to voice their concerns to a third party, helping ensure a prompt response from management and a streamlined resolution process that reduces time, stress and costs.
An employment-related lawsuit can take upwards of five years in the court system, but our EDR services can achieve a satisfactory resolution in a fraction of that time. We help your business protect its brand, save time and costs, minimize stress and avoid lengthy court battles, mediations or class action lawsuits. And, we help maintain a harmonious work environment both during and after the resolution process.
If you’re an employer with a considerable number of employees and reasonable turnover, alternative dispute resolution can provide an early warning system and help protect your employees, managers and brand image. No matter your industry, we have the expertise and experience to manage the employment disputes you may face.
Higginbotham is more than just an insurance agency; we’re your partner in Louisville for insurance and employee benefits. Our approach is straightforward and focused on you. Whether you’re looking for health insurance for your employees or home insurance for your new house, we’re here to provide insurance solutions that make sense. That’s the Higginbotham difference: we start with listening and end with customized solutions built around your needs.
