News and Insights

This year marks a significant milestone for the Accident & Health (A&H) team at Intact Insurance Specialty Solutions: 20 years of helping brokers and their customers navigate complex occupational injury exposures through specialized expertise, tailored coverage solutions and exceptional service.

Over the past two decades, the nature of work has changed dramatically. Independent contractors, owner-operators, gig workers, couriers, and app-based workforces have become increasingly integral to the economy, creating new opportunities and new risks that don't always fit neatly within traditional insurance models. This evolution has only strengthened the value of Intact's specialized approach, demonstrating that complex and emerging risks are best addressed through deep expertise and tailored solutions.

At Intact Insurance Specialty Solutions, we're continuing to invest in the people, tools, and capabilities that help us better serve our broker partners. Here's a look at what's new:
