California Casualty Management Company is in the business of providing individuals with insurance coverage, in particular those in the fields of education, law enforcement, fire fighting, and nursing.
In 1914, Carl G. Brown Sr. started California Casualty Indemnity Exchange as a customer-owned company offering workers' compensation insurance to California's new and growing industries. The company was based on Carl G. Brown Sr.'s high ethical standards and business integrity. In 1917 California Casualty began offering auto insurance, followed by home insurance in 1954. His son, Carl G. Brown Jr. took over as Chairman in 1957 and, in 1965 codified his father’s principles in the California Casualty Code.
In 1951, California Casualty pioneered what is now an industry trend of affinity insurance programs when it received the endorsement of the California Teachers Association (CTA) to provide auto and home insurance to its members. Sixty years later they still serve CTA and its members and expanded nationally with over 100 other endorsements including the National Education Association (NEA); many police, state trooper, and firefighter associations; and universities and medical centers.
In 1978, after Carl G. Brown Jr. retired, his son Tom Brown carried on the family tradition and moved up to Chairman of the Board. Under Tom’s leadership the business expanded across the country when it received the NEA endorsement.
In 2007, President and CEO Beau Brown continued as the fourth generation to head California Casualty. In 2010, he was also named Chairman of the Board.
They provide personal insurance programs for affinity groups and their members.
California Casualty offers auto insurance in 44 states and the District of Columbia and property insurance in 38 states and the District of Columbia.
They also offer personal liability umbrella, earthquake, flood, boat, recreational vehicle, snowmobile, and pet insurance through business partners.
Impact Teen Drivers - California Casualty Group teamed with the California Teachers Association (CTA) and the California Association of Highway Patrolmen (CAHP) to launch a teen driver awareness program aimed at saving young lives.
The program is geared directly toward the newest drivers — 10th graders — and it focuses on making them aware of the dangers of distracted driving. The public information campaign officially launched in April 2008. The website, What Do You Consider Lethal? gives teens a chance to learn from others' experiences of the impact of bad driving judgments.
