The product facts behind the view.
- Paragon’s E&S Casualty program identifies primary and excess liability for construction, products and premises-related risks. [1]
- The page names Canopius US Insurance as its capacity partner and lists occurrence or claims-made options. [1]
- Supported and unsupported excess are separately described; the unsupported offering includes participation in towers and quota-share layers. [1]
- Residential construction is described as rework or remodeling only in the cited appetite, and certain road or utility classes carry a minimum-attachment footnote. [1]
This is an individual program of Paragon Insurance Holdings. Review its own product scope separately from the other offerings.
Questions to resolve before binding.
Use these illustrative scenarios to review a proposal. They are questions to ask, not statements that a loss is covered.
A client needs excess over another insurer’s primary
Does the requested layer fit the unsupported offering, and what follows form? Compare underlying exclusions and exhaustion requirements.
A contractor adds new residential construction
Is that work outside the current described remodeling appetite? Present the project details before relying on the existing class description.
A buyer wants to switch from claims-made to occurrence
How will prior acts, completed work and reporting be handled? Review both expiring and proposed policies for continuity.
A better submission starts here.
Hedge’s preparation guidance for this placement:
- Identify primary, supported excess or unsupported excess, with the full underlying and requested tower structure.
- Provide operations, products, construction type, residential versus commercial work and contractual requirements.
- Include forms, loss history, retentions and project or location aggregates; flag any classes subject to the published attachment footnote.
Include the named insured, locations, requested lines and limits, effective date, existing applications and available loss information. Start with what you have; we can identify what is missing.

Paragon Insurance Holdings, LLC [2]
Program administrator
Canopius US Insurance [1]
Carrier partner name used on the program page
The product page identifies a Canopius capacity partner but does not provide a complete legal-entity identifier in the cited description. Confirm the precise issuer and the primary or excess forms on the proposed placement. [1]
Registration and license details identify an entity and its role. They do not by themselves establish that a particular product, state, limit or account is eligible.
The practical questions.
How do I get a quote with Paragon E&S Casualty?
Choose “Get a quote with Paragon E&S Casualty” and tell us about your client. Hedge carries your market selection into the submission, helps complete the account and works on the available terms. You can review the proposal before making a coverage decision.
Does this profile confirm my account is eligible?
The published specialties are a starting point. State, business activity, loss history, requested coverage, limits and effective date can change eligibility. The sources used here do not provide a complete state-by-product matrix. The actual proposal and policy forms determine coverage.
Is this an independent rating of Paragon E&S Casualty?
No. Hedge is an insurance intermediary and has a commercial interest in helping agents place business. Our commentary explains the placement questions we draw from the cited material.

What stands out, and why it matters.
Supported and unsupported excess have different starting points.
The program page separately identifies supported excess and unsupported excess with layer participation. [1]
State whether Paragon is being asked to write the primary, a lead excess or another layer. Bring the underlying wording and tower so the underwriter can assess attachment, exhaustion and follow-form provisions.
Occurrence and claims-made options require a continuity review.
Paragon lists occurrence or claims-made policies in its casualty capabilities. [1]
Identify the requested trigger and the client’s expiring structure. If changing forms, examine retroactive dates, completed-work exposure and reporting requirements rather than comparing the limits alone.
Construction appetite should be read precisely.
The cited page describes residential work as rework or remodeling and flags certain road and water/sewer classes with an attachment footnote. [1]
Explain the projects and contract roles without broadening those statements. A residential new-build operation or low-layer infrastructure risk should be specifically discussed rather than assumed to fit.
