What Donald says about using our mobile app:

I am rarely in the office.  95% of what I do is from my smart phone.  I input all of this information from my phone.  It is very easy to use and the photo I sent was uploaded from a text.   This is a great way to stay ahead of the curve and compile data.  Great system

[av_testimonial_single src=’4565′ name=’Greg Schaefer’ subtitle=’CFO – Better Home Healthcare’ link=’http://betterhomecare.com/’ linktext=’BetterHomeCare.com’ av_uid=’av-g25n20′]
“We originally met with Metropolitan Risk because our workers comp costs had significantly increased. They told us we needed to proactively manage our risk and claims, and we agreed. We were confident they could help us accomplish our goals but honestly didn’t expect the ROI we received so soon. Our experience mod has decreased twice since we engaged. We are now working with them on improving other areas of our business and are much more confident in our systems and processes surrounding the managing of our risk & insurance. We are thrilled to have such a knowledgeable partner, and will never go back to our old ways again.”

[av_testimonial_single src=’3022′ name=’Kevin O’Sullivan’ subtitle=’Owner – Time Square Construction’ link=’https://www.timesquareconstruction.com/’ linktext=’TimeSquareConstruction’ av_uid=’av-27aqzs’]
“We could have purchased insurance for our projects at a number of brokerages. We engaged Metropolitan Risk because they had a turn key solution for two of the largest cost drivers in our construction business. By helping us formally manage our subs insurance with their Risk Rocket program AND helping us manage our employee injuries with their Comp Care program our construction firm has saved blood and treasure. This allows us to focus on what we do best which is develop and build. A heartfelt thanks to the Met Risk Team.”

“I met with Metropolitan Risk because I knew I had challenges inside my business and was having trouble finding an effective way to solve them. Our safety procedures were incomplete and inconsistent which showed up in our claims and as a result our experience mod. It increased our costs to the point where it was impossible to ignore. After meeting with Alex and the Met Risk team, it was clear my business could benefit from their expertise. I was optimistic that together we would be able to accomplish all the goals we originally outlined, but didn’t think that we could accomplish so much, so soon. Being in business nearly 30 years, it just seemed too good to be true. Well, in this case it definitely wasn’t.  I’m thrilled with the decision we made to hire them. It’s a decision that has paid for itself 3-4 times over already.”

“We were so lucky that all of our insurance moved to Metropolitan Risk before Sandy hit. Their claims team was literally on site within hours, taking us through each and every step—like a member of the family.  At that awful time, when we felt so vulnerable, it helped tremendously to know that we had Mike in our corner. It sounds corny, but he really cared.

We had no idea how much better protected we were until the checks came through (at breakneck speed) and realized it was twice what we would have gotten from the previous coverage.  They knew what we needed better than we did. You cannot go wrong with the folks at Met Risk.”

[av_testimonial_single src=’3013′ name=’Teresa Smith’ subtitle=’Owner – Rebar Steel Corp’ link=’http://www.rebarsteelcorp.com’ linktext=’RebarSteelCorp.com’ av_uid=’av-8iswo8′]
“I was skeptical that Met Risk would be able to accomplish all the things they originally outlined at our first meeting. But our experience mod was high and our safety policies needed help. Rebar decided to trust their process.  They have far outperformed all of our expectations. The Met Risk staff has the most complete insurance and risk expertise I have come across in the 25 years I have been in business.  They have opened my eyes to the damage you can do to your company due to lack of knowledge in the insurance field. Met Risk has exceeded our expectations.”

[av_testimonial_single src=’3027′ name=’Sam Gaccione’ subtitle=’President – GAC Equity Partners Ltd and GAC Builders Ltd’ link=’http://www.gacbuilds.net’ linktext=’GACBuilds.net’ av_uid=’av-pgirc’]
“I personally had a background in insurance prior to joining Great American.  When I made the move to the real estate development and construction industry I immediately realized the brokers we were using were not proactive in handling our account, they were strictly transactional intermediaries.  At an industry event a business friend introduced me to Mike and his team.  Following that event Mike and his team took the time to specifically learn our business and determine what our insurance needs were, and more importantly where our exposure was.  They crafted a program to protect our business, they isolated our largest cost drivers (one being uninsured subcontractor losses), helped us tighten our contracts, and educated our staff on how to manage our vendor’s insurance.  Their Risk Rocket System enabled us to run most of our liability losses through the sub’s insurance which kept our own losses low, reducing our insurance renewal costs.  Within three years they delivered a seven figure savings within our cost structure allowing us to focus and grow our business within our core competencies.  We could not have achieved that result without the Met Risk team. They taught us the value of managing risk versus buying insurance only with an eye toward lowering our insurance costs.”

“Met Risk addressed key issues relating to our facility, staff, and board of directors, which were concerns with our previous program. We feel our operations are in a safer place as Met Risk has demonstrated their extensive knowledge and resource base, relating to child care”

[av_testimonial_single src=’4931′ name=’Aaron Deems’ subtitle=’Enviro Waste’ link=” linktext=’EnviroWasteOil.com’]
“We chose Metropolitan Risk because we didn’t trust that our insurance left us properly protected or priced.  We knew we had faced challenges inside our business but we weren’t convinced that there was a way to solve and avoid them.  What we found was that our claims were driving our insurance costs across our entire business. We’ve been in business for over 20 years and have never had our insurance world explained and strategized in the way the Metropolitan Risk does.  Now having a risk management team to manage our risk factors, claims and coverages, we feel we have a partner helping us rather than just a broker helping us “purchase” insurance.  We will never go back to our old way of doing business again.  Thank you to the team at Metropolitan Risk!”
