Explanation of Terms
"A"-Admitted. The company has met the minimum requirements established by statute and is authorized by the State of Georgia to write lawyer's professional liability business. The importance of being admitted includes not only the protection to the insured of having the backing of the state's regulatory authorities to assist if a problem arises, but also the fact that the guaranty fund laws generally apply only to licensed insurers.
"NA"-Non-admitted. The company is a surplus lines (non-admitted) carrier, which is a company that generally underwrites risks or parts of risks for which insurance is not available through an admitted company. The business is, therefore, placed with a non-admitted insurer (a company not licensed in the State of Georgia) in accordance with state surplus lines insurance laws.
"RRG"-Risk Retention Group. Risk Retention Groups are owner-controlled insurance companies authorized by the Federal Liability Risk Retention Act of 1986. An RRG will allow members who engage in similar or related business or activities to write liability insurance for all or any portion of the exposures of group members, excluding first party coverages, such as property, worker's compensation and personal lines. Authorization under the federal statute allows a group to be chartered in one state, but able to engage in the business of insurance in all states, subject to certain specific and limited restrictions. The Federal Act pre-empts state law in many significant ways.
"Multi-Line Agencies/Brokers". Organizations that represent both "Admitted" and "Non-Admitted" professional liability insurance carriers. They do not represent "RRGs."
