Grenville Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Thank you for posting! I'm curious to hear Berkshire's response. Seems odd not filing the policy with the state commissioner... Found this article in the WSJ today: "Regulator Faults Berkshire Hathaway Insurance Unit" http://www.wsj.com/articles/regulator-faults-berkshire-hathaway-insurance-unit-1466444329 “The company strongly disagrees with the commissioner’s decision and intends to vigorously pursue all legal avenues,” said a person authorized to speak on behalf of Applied Underwriters.

LC Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I'm all for uncovering the shadier side of Berkshire, but can anyone explain the following to me: The insurance company later had one of its affiliates—another Berkshire Hathaway entity—sell Shasta Linen a second insurance policy called EquityComp, which is not a traditional guaranteed cost workers' compensation insurance policy. This second insurance policy was a retroactive non-linear insurance policy, which adjusted the rates paid based on current loses and provided no experience modification of rates based on the employers' claims experience. Did they have a gun to this business's head? Why just, you know, not buy the shitty policy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
