TGI Workers' Compensation Purchasing Group

 

To date, HIA and our network of partner agents have distributed over $1,000,000 in dividends back to Texas Green Industry Workers' Compensation Group members!
 
Workers’ compensation coverage is still the only insurance available that provides full medical and disability benefits for injured workers and legal protection for green industry employers. Now Texas growers, landscape contractors, and other green industry businesses can save money by joining the Texas Green Industry (TGI) Workers’ Compensation Group.

How the TGI Workers’ Compensation Purchasing Group Was Formed.

 The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) allows employers in similar businesses to form purchasing groups to help reduce their workers’ compensation insurance premiums. In February 2004 Hotchkiss Insurance Agency, Inc. (HIA) did just that for green industry employers. Underwritten by Texas Mutual®, the state’s leading provider of workers’ compensation insurance, the group includes growers, landscape contractors, nurseries, and other green industry businesses. In short, by joining TGI, your company will retain its own experience modifier, and it will receive a premium discount based on the group’s total premium. Your company may also qualify for a Texas Mutual general dividend or group dividend.*

• Immediate premium discount of 10.9% to every policyholder
• 12% health network credit immediately
• Two annual dividend checks* – one for all Texas Mutual policyholders, one for TGI members only
• Safety Manual – written exclusively for TGI policyholders – workers’ safety programs, guidelines, how to implement, plus loss control engineering provided by Texas Mutual at no cost to policyholders.
