The Crichton Group Surpasses $2 Billion in High Net-Worth Client Coverage

NASHVILLE, TN--(Marketwired - Mar 10, 2015) - The Crichton Group, Middle Tennessee's largest independent insurance agency, announced today it has reached a new milestone by handling the insurance needs of more than $2 billion in assets for high net-worth families. Bob Jackson, president of The Crichton Group, says that he and business partner Jimmy Ward, the company's CEO, started servicing this segment over 25 years ago when they recognized these clients were underserved.

"We are thrilled to reach this milestone with our high net-worth clients largely because it means so many are putting their faith and trust in our capabilities," said Jackson. "This is a testament to the expertise and professionalism found in our private client division. We understand there is no cookie-cutter solution for clients that fall into this category. For these high net-worth individuals and families, each one has very unique risk exposures that must be thoroughly assessed to facilitate the proper protection."

The Crichton Group has developed expertise in recommending coverages and risk management solutions which are unique to these clients. Examples are:

• Asset protection from liability lawsuits
• Risk Transfer solution prior to a home renovation
• Liability requirements for servicing contractors i.e. Landscape, plumbers etc.
• Background screenings for domestic employees

"In many states, if someone is found only 1 percent responsible for an accident, he or she can be held liable for 100 percent of the damages to the injured parties," Jackson added. "There is a lot at stake for these families and we take our role very seriously."
