About ICAT

Helping business owners and homeowners recover from disasters.

Who is ICAT?

ICAT provides property insurance protection to homeowners and businesses located in hurricane- and earthquake-exposed regions of the United States. ICAT takes great pride in the service, products, and stability we deliver to our agents and brokers.

 

Our History

Since our founding in 1998, ICAT has evolved into a highly specialized and disciplined underwriter of catastrophe insurance risk. Operating in hurricane and earthquake exposed regions of the United States, we partner with select retail agents and wholesale brokers to deliver tailored property insurance solutions. In 2005, Boulder Claims was formed to provide comprehensive claims services on all claims from policies underwritten by ICAT, and other select partners. Boulder Claims has paid out over $3.4B in claims.

Our Underwriting Fundamentals

ICAT is built around five core underwriting fundamentals, with our people at the core of what we do.

  1. Risk Selection and Pricing: We choose quality risks to be a part of our portfolio, and we price all perils separately to ensure rate adequacy.
  2. Risk Inspection: We inspect every risk to ensure we will be able to deliver on our promise to protect our policyholders.
  3. Aggregate Management: We spread our risk to ensure we’ll be there when disaster hits.
  4. Catastrophe Modeling: We have a proprietary view of risk which allows us to leverage real experience through past events.
  5. Claims Management: ICAT recognizes the importance of having control over the claims handling process to guarantee fair and prompt resolution of our customers' claims.
