Breaking Risk is not a general insurance blog. Every issue is written specifically for business owners, risk managers, and commercial insurance buyers who want to make smarter decisions — not just renew on autopilot.
Weekly breakdowns of hazard, operational, strategic, and financial risk trends affecting commercial businesses — written in plain language, not policy jargon.
Early indicators of carrier appetite shifts, rate changes, and underwriting tightening across key commercial lines — so you're never caught off-guard at renewal.
We challenge the assumptions most business owners hold about how insurance works — and show you how to maximize your risk transfer strategy instead.
Each issue tackles one risk category in depth — with real-world scenarios, market data, and actionable takeaways you can bring to your next renewal conversation.
Hazard RiskMost business owners assume general liability is a catch-all. We break down the five most common exclusions that leave commercial clients exposed — and how to close the gaps.
Operational RiskCarriers are now pricing commercial auto based on real-time driver behavior data. Here's what that means for your renewal, and how to use it to your advantage.
Strategic RiskReplacement cost inflation has outpaced most property valuations by 30–40% since 2020. We examine what that means for coinsurance clauses and claim settlements.
"Breaking Risk completely changed how I think about our fleet coverage. We were over-insured in two areas and dangerously exposed in another. One issue saved us tens of thousands."
