Free PLI? Terra Insurance Company is the A/E industry's second-oldest PLI
provider, specializing in firms that provide geotechnical, environmental,
civil, and other types of earth engineering. Founded in 1969, Terra became
a risk retention group RRG in 1988, requiring each insured to become an
owner/insured. They paid $10 a share. Today, each share is worth $210.
Subtract capital appreciation from the premiums Terra's original
owner/insureds have paid since 1988 and, for a number of them, the bottom
line is zero. Or less. For the best of the best. The secret to Terra's
extraordinary performance? We insure the best of the best; firms that
focus on risk management and loss prevention in addition to technical
excellence. Three of every four Terra insureds have not experienced a
serious claim since they've been with the company. We were most pleasantly
surprised! In gathering testimonials for our new brochure, we asked a
diverse group of owner/insureds to tell us why they liked Terra. We
figured low net cost would be number one on the list. Wrong! Number one?
Service. Do you have what it takes? The Terra approach to PLI is not for
everyone. We price our products prudently and invest conservatively which
is why we're still around and most of our competitors aren't . And we deal
directly with our owner/insureds, so every one of them benefits from the
same commitment to excellence. www.terrarrg.org Visit our website. That's
