Jason Baynard, an Inland Marine underwriter at AmWINS, joins Crane Talk to unpack the volatile world of heavy iron insurance. From his early days at Chubb to building custom underwriting programs, Jason has seen it all—and has strong opinions about what makes crane companies stand out today.
We cover the difference between first-party and third-party coverage, the real-world impact of nuclear verdicts, and how tort reform is slowly reshaping the legal landscape. Jason explains how to make your company more insurable: document safety, install cameras and telematics, and tell your story at renewal.
Whether you’re an operator, broker, or insurance insider, this episode is a guide to thriving in a high-risk market.
