Zurich North America launches complex casualty unit

Zurich North America said Wednesday it has formed a complex casualty unit aimed at the upper middle-market segment.  

Zurich named Steve Lezaj to lead the new unit as national complex casualty underwriting director. He joined the insurer from Travelers Cos. Inc., where he most recently served as account executive director.

The complex casualty unit will focus on accounts with expected annual losses up to $3 million, Zurich said in a statement.

John Diaz, chief operating officer, U.S. middle market, for Zurich, said there is opportunity for growth in the upper middle-market segment and that the new unit will make it easier for brokers and customers to conduct business with Zurich.
