AmTrust’s 2019 Retail Risk Report Media Roundup

AmTrust recently launched the 2019 Retail Risk Report. Since its release in October 2019, key findings from the report have been picked up and covered by various media sources across the insurance and retail industries.





Retail is one of the key industries that AmTrust Financial writes. Matt Zender, senior vice president and workers’ compensation product manager at AmTrust, explains, “We really like this segment – we like to write it, we like to try to support them in every way possible, and in the event of a claim, we try to do everything we can to get that injured worker safely back to work as quickly as possible.”





AmTrust was excited to share the results of our findings, knowing they would pique the interest of the industry. Check out the coverage of our 2019 Retail Risk Report below:
