Liberty International Underwriters Unveils Railroad Capability

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Railroad and railroad support companies can now get comprehensive railroad specialty insurance from one source – Liberty International Underwriters (LIU), a part of Liberty Mutual Group. LIU’s new unit – LIU Railroad – provides general liability, excess casualty, property, and railroad protective coverage.

“While we have provided some railroad coverage in the past, we have now assembled a very experienced team that will focus on all specialty classes of railroad business,” said David Cohen, president of LIU U.S. “Dedicated specifically to railroad, our new team of specialists lets us write the full range of business from scenic railroad tours to city transit systems. And because we have the capability to include property coverage, which many others do not, brokers get the type of differentiator they have come to expect when working with LIU.”

The LIU Railroad team includes David Adamczyk, vice president; Robert Fellerath vice president; Cal Evans, assistant vice president; and Debbie Lawrence, senior underwriter. Brokers will work with Adamczyk and Fellerath on general liability and excess casualty, with Evans on property and with Lawrence on railroad protective.
