L&W Investigations has been newly approved as a vendor for Harleysville Insurance and are now a member of their panel for conducting insurance investigations throughout the U.S. “L&W has done case work with Harleysville previously, and now that they have brought their SIU work back in-house, have once again turned to L&W to conduct their investigations. We are thrilled to have this opportunity and feel that L&W will be a perfect fit for the Harleysville organization..” “Harleysville is a premier business insurance company with a great record of success”. (Neal Lyons CEO/Chairman L&W Investigations).
The history of Harleysville Insurance
Harleysville Insurance had its beginnings in 1915 when Alvin Alderfer, concerned by the theft of several Ford sedans, gathered the community’s leading citizens at Tyson’s Hotel in Harleysville, PA to discuss his idea of forming an "Association" like the horse theft societies that area farmers had used for many years to spread the risk among many. Alderfer’s proposal was to form an association to protect their cars. Each member would contribute a small membership fee to a fund that would pay the costs of recovering or replacing any of the members’ stolen cars.
Harleysville had consolidated assets of $4.0 billion and net written premiums of $1.1 billion in 2009, and ranked as one of the top 60 property/casualty insurance companies and groups according to A.M. Best Company.
