FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Patriot Underwriters, Inc., a subsidiary of Patriot National, Inc. (NYSE: PN), today announced the launch of a new program designed to help workers' compensation and qualified employers' liability policyholders in state risk assigned pools access additional coverage options.

This new program allows policyholders applying for or currently in state assigned risk pools to replace coverage in the voluntary market at a lower cost and with improved service and less complicated renewal processing. Leveraging Patriot's proprietary loss control service and industry expertise, the program also assists policyholders with risk rehabilitation and safety measures that help them reduce claims and achieve savings on future premiums.

Mariano, Chief Executive Officer of Patriot National. "We are pleased to bring to market additional value-added solutions that will benefit both existing and prospective clients."
