Insurance Business America, a trade publication covering the U.S. insurance industry, has named CFC Underwriting a 5-Star Professional Liability insurer in its 2025 report recognizing the nation’s top providers. The annual “5-Star Professional Liability” report highlights a select group of insurers that brokers identified as offering exceptional products, service and claims support across the professional liability market.

CFC was among a limited number of carriers nationwide to earn the 5-Star designation, which is based on extensive feedback from insurance brokers who rated insurers on coverage features, underwriting expertise, claims handling and overall service quality.

Insurance Business America’s 5-Star Professional Liability report draws on surveys and interviews with more than 1,000 brokers across the United States, assessing insurer performance across multiple categories including underwriting, claims and product innovation.
