About Norman Max Insurance Solutions
The story behind the creation of NormanMax Insurance Solutions lies with our founder, Bradley Meier. After being introduced to parametric insurance, Brad thought it was the future. He recognized there was a gap in traditional insurance coverage, which often left policyholders uninsured or underinsured from catastrophic risks and decided to find a solution. Thus, NormanMax Insurance Solutions – named in honor of his father, was created with the foresight to bring unique and innovative parametric insurance solutions to businesses and individuals in domestic and international markets. Brad’s leadership is exemplified by his many decades of industry experience, including founding Universal Insurance Holdings (NYSE: UVE) and building Universal into a leader in the Florida homeowner’s insurance market.
NormanMax Insurance Solutions utilizes revolutionary insurance technology to provide the best insurance solutions to our clients and provide an unparalleled customer service experience. With unrivaled parametric insurance solutions for hurricanes and earthquakes – and many more parametric solutions on the horizon – NormanMax Insurance Solutions can provide you and your clients with peace of mind for the most challenging and difficult insurance headaches faced in an ever-hardening insurance marketplace.
