Strength and Stability to Better Protect You<br />
Our ability to support and defend the critical issues that impact your practice can be<br />
attributed to our years of stability, strength and solid financial position. We are proud that<br />
we were again affirmed with an “A” (Excellent) rating by A.M. Best, a rating <strong>NORCAL</strong> Mutual<br />
has held for more than 30 years. In <strong>2014</strong>, we returned more than $14 million in dividends to<br />
our members due to their practice of good medicine and the sound business practices<br />
of the <strong>NORCAL</strong> <strong>Group</strong> of companies. To date, more than $500 million in dividends have<br />
been declared and paid.<br />
We are building on the strength of our foundation and growing and changing for you,<br />
moving from three regional companies to one national medical professional liability<br />
insurance (MPLI) company that is large enough and agile enough to serve the complex and<br />
varied needs of our policyholders. From the solo practitioner to the large multi-specialty<br />
group, we are committed to you every day, and are unwavering when you need us most.<br />
We are proud that you have put your trust in us and we look forward to another great<br />
year together.<br />
Thank you very much for your business and your confidence in our company.<br />
