Being local allows us to build strong relationships, respond quickly, and stay closely aligned with our clients’ evolving needs while still providing access to Hylant’s expansive expertise, carrier relationships, and innovative solutions.

When evaluating insurance and risk partners in Fort Wayne, construction companies should prioritize firms that offer:

  • Proven experience in construction risk management
  • Ability to handle large or multi-location projects
  • Strong claims advocacy and safety resources
  • Strategic guidance beyond policy placement

Hylant has a dedicated construction and surety practice built specifically to support contractors, developers, and construction firms. Our team focuses on identifying job-site risks, contract exposures, and financial vulnerabilities unique to the industry.

Hylant helps employers address workers’ comp and insurance costs by combining loss control, data-driven insights, proactive claims management, optimized insurance program design, and strategic employee benefits planning.

Hylant helps real estate developers in the Fort Wayne area evaluate and secure environmental and pollution liability insurance, particularly for redevelopment, brownfield, or former industrial sites. This coverage can address unknown contamination, cleanup costs, and third-party claims, helping developers move projects forward confidently.

Hylant helps organizations align their benefits strategy with their business objectives, keeping their priorities central and delivering direction that drives meaningful results. Our benefits specialists help with employee benefits strategy and brokerage, compliance, cost containment, health and well-being, analytics, member engagement, leave management, and more.

As insurance premiums continue to rise, many companies are looking for alternatives to the traditional insurance market. Hylant helps organizations evaluate whether captive insurance could be a viable solution by analyzing risk profile, loss history, and long‑term cost drivers. For the right organizations, a captive can provide greater control over insurance costs, improved risk transparency, and potential financial advantages. Our award-winning captive advisors guide clients through feasibility studies, design, and ongoing management to determine whether a captive or another alternative risk strategy aligns with their goals.

In addition to our commercial services, Hylant offers insurance for individuals, including home, auto, umbrella, life, health, and more. We help individuals and families protect what matters most by identifying coverage gaps, securing competitive options, and providing trusted advice as life circumstances change.
