Operating in 27 states, we serve small and mid-sized employers in high hazard industries like construction and trucking. With valuable on the ground experience, we're able to understand the unique challenges our policyholders face. This knowledge allows us to use an informed approach in underwriting our policies, ultimately helping reduce the incidence rate and cost of workplace injuries for many of our policyholders. ### Subscribe Here! ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Tag - [amerisafe (1)](https://blog.amerisafe.com/blog/topic/amerisafe) - [driving (1)](https://blog.amerisafe.com/blog/topic/driving) - [safe above all (1)](https://blog.amerisafe.com/blog/topic/safe-above-all) - [safety (1)](https://blog.amerisafe.com/blog/topic/safety) [![Logo-NoTag_WhiteTree-WhiteText](https://blog.amerisafe.com/hubfs/Logo-NoTag_WhiteTree-WhiteText.svg)](https://www.amerisafe.com/) - [Careers](http://amerisafe.com/careers/) - [TOOLS for Agents](http://amerisafe.com/agent-tools/) - [TOOLS for Policyholders](http://amerisafe.com/policy-holder-tools/) - [Sitemap](http://amerisafe.com/sitemap/) © 2023 AMERISAFE, Inc.
