What's in LMI RiskCoach

Hover over to see what this section contains

For each class of insurance, a risk grade known as the LMI Hazard Index is provided as an indication of hazard for that industry. The grading classification used is: 1-30 = Low 31-60 = Medium 61-90 = High 91-100 = Extreme. Uses of the hazard index include: identifying industries which require further examination before coverage is granted; identifying problem areas within an industry type; obtaining an impression of the overall degree of exposure associated with the industry by class. Risk Coach provides comments where appropriate. Comments sometimes accompany the hazard index number. These comments call attention to major areas of loss or factors that may modify loss potential.
