Jackson County accepts Travelers liability package; will pursue higher umbrella limits
Summary
After re-marketing coverage following an umbrella non-renewal, commissioners accepted a Travelers liability insurance proposal for 2026–2027 and directed loss-control steps to seek higher abuse/molestation umbrella limits; motion passed 3-0.
Human Resources representative Jeff Hubbard yielded time to Beatty Insurance and Gregory & Appeal to present the county's 2026 liability insurance options. Commissioners were told market conditions for Indiana counties remain constrained and that the prior carrier had not renewed umbrella coverage, prompting re-marketing.
The board approved a comprehensive package from Travelers for the 2026–2027 policy year and asked staff to pursue loss-control measures intended to raise abuse/molestation umbrella limits. The motion to accept Travelers' proposal was made by Commissioner Drew Storey, seconded by Commissioner Andrew Stauffer, and passed unanimously.
