Public Entities
Public entities, including counties, municipalities, school districts, utilities, risk pools, parks, and state colleges and universities, experience more public scrutiny than do private companies. Depending on type and jurisdiction,
public entities are also subject to intense regulation at the state level. As a leading provider of public entity claims handling services, York knows that the claims-handling partner for public entities must ensure maximum efficiency
and close attention to expense management. We also understand that claimants – whether they be employees with a workers' compensation claim or a third party with a liability claim – must be treated respectfully.
Our extensive experience with public entities and our focus on effective communication have led us to achieve that balance and become a provider of choice for this unique market.
In addition to claims management services, York also offers loss control and risk pool administration services to the public entity market.
