Commercial Insurance Built for New York
New York is the financial and cultural capital of the country — finance, media, real estate, hospitality, and construction at unmatched density. Labor Law 240/241 makes New York construction liability among the most complex in the nation, and real estate and hospitality programs here demand genuine expertise.
Cory Washington & Co. LLC is licensed in New York and places coverage for businesses across the state — from general liability and commercial property to specialty lines most generalist agencies never touch. We work as advisors first: strategy and risk analysis before placement, then negotiation across carriers that actually compete for New York business.
Workers’ Compensation in New York
New York requires workers' compensation coverage for virtually all employers with one or more employees, with strict penalties and mandatory disability benefits coverage as well.
Beyond the legal requirement, how a workers' compensation program is structured — classifications, experience mod management, payroll audits — directly drives what you pay. We review all of it before quoting. Requirements change; confirm current rules with the New York State Department of Financial Services.
