California has the most complex commercial insurance environment in the country. Crawford-Hill provides admitted and surplus lines market access for California operations — including commercial property in wildfire-affected regions.
Operating a business in California requires navigating one of the most layered and frequently changing commercial insurance regulatory environments in the United States. Crawford-Hill is licensed in California and maintains relationships with both admitted carriers and surplus lines markets — which is increasingly critical as admitted carriers exit or restrict commercial property coverage in significant portions of the state.

⚠ California Commercial Property — E&S Market Access Is Now Essential: Following multiple catastrophic wildfire seasons, significant numbers of admitted carriers have restricted or eliminated commercial property coverage in large portions of California. For businesses in wildfire-affected counties, surplus lines market access is often the only path to placing commercial property coverage at all.
SB 553 — Workplace Violence Prevention Plan (effective July 2024): California requires most employers to establish a written Workplace Violence Prevention Plan (WVPP). Gaps in WVPP compliance create documented liability exposure that underwriters evaluate at renewal. Crawford-Hill works with commercial clients to understand how their compliance posture affects their insurance program.
Workers' Compensation in California: California requires workers' comp coverage for all employers with one or more employees. California's workers' comp system is one of the most complex and litigious in the country. Premium rates, experience modification factors, and claims management all significantly affect total program cost.
Commercial Auto in California: California commercial auto minimums are 15/30/5 for standard business vehicles — far below what most middle-market operations should actually carry. Fleet operators and motor carriers should structure programs substantially above state minimums.
Crawford-Hill Insurance Agency is licensed in California and places commercial coverage for California-based operations and businesses with California locations or vehicles.
