What are Mexico insurance underwriters? Underwriting is the single most important part of a brokerage. It’s the coverage, the language, and the people behind the contract that provide service to clients in the worst-case scenario. The underwriter is the insurance company that you call when you’re in an accident in Mexico. We thoroughly vet our underwriters and read through the contracts and sometimes negotiate adjustments that make the most sense for our clients. Below you’ll find more information about our current underwriters.
