Risk Control Services

Our team helps identify and minimize the risks you encounter every day.

While WVcorp is proud to offer the most comprehensive coverages available to protect your organization, we know that every claim can still be disruptive and shouldn’t be accepted as an inevitable part of operations. In addition to the financial burden, claims can cost you precious time, result in public embarrassment, or even alter the lives of the individuals involved. Fortunately, we’re here to help.

Our solution

Our Risk Control team is available to help you mitigate risk before it ever results in an incident. Our extensive experience in the operations of our members enables us to identify and address common exposures shared by all as well as those specific to your unique operations. 

Customized to your needs

Our services are custom-tailored to meet the distinct needs of each member. We have an extensive array of member-specific programs, including those for: 

• Counties, cities, towns and villages
• Law Enforcement
• Authorities, including Water & Sewer
