American Specialty Insurance & Risk Services, Inc.

"If you are a small business looking for insurance they will take advantage of you and deceive you out of money. I asked for a 1 month extension on our insurance and the rep said that I should renew our policy and simply cancel at the end. They took $500 upfront and then refused to refund any money after I canceled. They said that I was in violation of some policy for canceling early and now they are charging me fees. Phil, you guys are using deceptive practices to steal money from small business. Shame on you. You are charging me $500 for 1 month insurance. Sluggers is just a small business."

"This insurance company is supposedly the coverage used by a business where i was a customer and experienced an accident with malfunctioning equipment. My leg is broken and i have medical treatment to pay for that is clearly and undoubtedly the responsibility of the business where the accident occurred. It has been three weeks and they have yet to reach out to me. If this is the kind of service you expect as a business, then this is the company for you. Im also a business owner and im frankly horrified at how this has been handled."

"Avoid them. We are a small business and through our franchise we got setup with American Speciality as our Insurance provider. Last year our cost was $5000/year, which seemed high but we didn't think we had a choice on a different provider. This year our premium jumped by $1000 to $6000/year. Because of this we did research to learn we could shop the policy and found the same exact coverage through State Farm for $3000/year. When we went to cancel our policy with American Speciality they short changed us on our refund. For the 21 days of coverage we had with them out of 365 we were charged $1100. $1100 out of $6000 for only 21 days! An absolute joke and scam. Shop your local reps and someone you are able to meet face to face with to do business."
