Markel Corporation

States are increasingly requiring that businesses large and small get worker's compensation insurance. It is never cheap and, for some, very hard to afford. So, you want a company that fairly assesses your business; treats you with fairness and courtesy and doesn't surprise you with excess charges. If that is true, avoid Markel like the Bubonic Plague that it is. It is the single worst insurance carrier I have ever worked with. They make repeated, intrusive and duplicative demands for information. They consume hours of your time with their demands for information and God forbid you are a moment late with it because you then get increasingly hostile and threatening letters. Then, once you provide the information they surprise you with massive surcharges for additional fees that they never disclosed to you when they signed you up. If those are not paid promptly you are again beset with increasingly hostile and threatening demands for information. If you actually want good, fair and reasonable worker's comp coverage, sign up with ADP, which gives you full coverage at a fair price and with no brain damage. There is no worse company in the United States than Markel. Consider yourself warned. Believe me, I have been in business for more than 40 years and have never had an experience as bad as the one I had with Markel. It is COVID-19 of insurance carriers. When you get it, you get sick. VERY VERY SICK.
