Carrier appetite summary
General Casualty was a super‑regional P&C carrier headquartered in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin that wrote commercial and personal lines but was acquired by QBE Insurance Group in 2007; QBE subsequently retired the General Casualty brand, announcing in 2011 that the General Casualty name would be replaced with the QBE name and logo.([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Casualty_Insurance?utm_source=openai)) As a result, there are no current, stand‑alone General Casualty underwriting or appetite guides for workers’ compensation, homeowners, or boat/watercraft business; any in‑force or renewal business would now be written and governed under QBE’s underwriting companies, manuals, and producer guidance rather than a separate General Casualty platform. Operationally, this means: - Preferred / target business: No current, brand‑specific targets exist for "General Casualty"; producers should treat these risks under QBE’s applicable commercial or personal lines appetite and rating plans for workers’ compensation or personal lines where available. - Restricted / declined classes: Any class restrictions, prohibitions, or referral requirements will be those published by QBE’s underwriting entities; prior General Casualty manuals are historical and should not be relied on for new submissions. - Geographic notes: General Casualty historically operated as a U.S. super‑regional carrier, but its geographic footprint and authority are now fully absorbed into QBE’s U.S. operations; state eligibility, admitted/non‑admitted status, and program participation must be confirmed against QBE’s current state filings and producer communications. - Submission requirements: New and renewal submissions that might previously have gone to General Casualty must now follow QBE’s submission workflows (broker/agent portals, required ACORDs, loss runs, supplements, etc.). Agents should not submit new business under the General Casualty name but instead use the appropriate QBE company code and product. - Broker / producer notes: Where older documentation, broker lists, or agency portals still reference "General Casualty/QBE," the operative underwriting authority is QBE; producers should align with QBE regional underwriters and distribution management for appetite questions and must not rely on any legacy General Casualty guideline documents that pre‑date the QBE rebranding. Because the brand has been retired, no current official General Casualty underwriting or appetite pages could be verified; all live appetite and guidelines are maintained under QBE branding and entities, not under the historical General Casualty name.
