RT Specialty, the wholesale distribution specialty of Ryan Specialty, has announced the launch of a new workers’ compensation program for restoration contractors.

“RT Specialty’s national workers’ compensation practice has added an exclusive program for underserved restoration contractors,” said Jim Mitchell, executive vice president of RT Specialty’s national workers’ compensation practice. “Historically, placing risks in this industry has presented many challenges due to mold removal, reconstruction work, and additional exposures typical for the industry. Our exclusive program is available in many (and growing) states to serve your clients. We are thrilled to expand our specialty program offerings to include the restoration contractor program, allowing us to add another class of high-hazard industries to our specialized list of carriers.”
