I am known in the thoroughbred and harness racing communities for crafting specialized and difficult to place insurance programs. I have written numerous articles, participated on many panels and have been recognized nationally as an insurance expert in the horse racing industry. Utilizing my insurance background and passion for horse racing I have formed captives, developed self insured groups and brokered other creative insurance solutions. I work with A Rated insurance carriers at the highest underwriting authority levels to insure these difficult to place risks. Exclusive programs include: jockey workers compensation/accident & health, general liability/workers compensation for the 'frontside' and 'backside' of racetracks, trainer and exercise rider accident & health coverage, etc. I have been quoted in publications ranging from USA Today, LA Times, Insurance Journal, Bloodhorse, etc. A key word google search using 'John Unick Insurance' will provide a window into some of my past accomplishments.Specialties: complex/high risk insurance placements, workers’ compensation, legal malpractice, directors & officers, property, general liability, inland marine, high net worth personal lines, high excess tower placements over $10M, self-insured groups, captives, mortality, bonus insurance for sweepstakes...anything 'outside the box.' In addition to the horse racing industry, I serve as a broker for more standard industries such as: assisted living, real estate, legal malpractice for law firms, restaurants, off track betting operations, casinos, venture capital firms, etc.
Listed skills include Insurance, Strategic Planning, Workers Compensation, Legal Liability, and 18 others.
