Pie Insurance Launches Workers' Compensation in Connecticut
Introduction
In a significant move for small businesses, Pie Insurance has announced the expansion of its workers' compensation insurance to the state of Connecticut. This initiative aims to provide affordable and tailored coverage to over 365,000 small businesses, marking a vital step in supporting the local economy.
Expanding Reach
This expansion means that Pie Insurance now operates in 39 states, including Washington, D.C., serving a diverse array of customers across the nation. The company has developed a strong network, collaborating with more than 5,000 insurance agencies to ensure that small businesses can access the coverage they need with ease.
John Swigart, the co-founder and CEO of Pie Insurance, emphasizes the vital role of small businesses in Connecticut's economy, representing over 99% of all businesses in the state. He stated, "Every business deserves coverage that reflects its unique circumstances. Whether you're running a family restaurant in New Haven or a construction outfit in Hartford, you need insurance that truly understands your operations."
Data-Driven Solutions for Small Businesses
Pie Insurance employs advanced technology to streamline the workers' compensation process. Its proprietary AI and machine learning algorithms facilitate quick and accurate pricing for a wide variety of business types. This capability enables Pie to deliver instant quotes for approximately 73% of class codes, a feature that has revolutionized how business owners experience the insurance process.
For many small businesses, traditional insurance models do not adequately cater to their unique needs, leading to higher premiums and fewer available options. Pie’s technology addresses these issues head-on, allowing small business owners and agents to navigate the insurance landscape with greater efficiency.
The Importance of Workplace Safety
In addition to providing insurance coverage, Pie Insurance is deeply committed to enhancing safety in the workplace. The recent Pie Insurance 2025 Workplace Safety Survey revealed that around 50% of injuries in small businesses could be avoided, thus underlining the need for preventive measures and proper coverage. Pie advocates for proactive safety protocols that protect employees while also reducing costs.
Carla Woodard, the Senior Vice President of Claims at Pie, noted: "Many small businesses operate without dedicated HR or safety teams, which makes it imperative that we go beyond simply providing insurance. We focus on delivering insights that empower employers to create safer work environments."
