WCF Insurance to acquire Work First Casualty in 2026
The deal is expected to close around December 1, 2026, and Work First will keep operating under its own brand during a phased integration.
WCF Insurance has agreed to acquire Work First Casualty Company, a workers’ compensation insurer focused exclusively on the temporary staffing industry, according to Coverager.
The transaction terms were not disclosed, and the deal is expected to close around December 1, 2026. Work First, founded in 2005, is licensed in all 50 states and holds an A financial strength rating from AM Best, with underwriting, claims oversight, and loss-prevention services tailored to staffing.
Work First will continue operating under its own brand, with President Jamie Madden and the full leadership team remaining in place. WCF said brokers and policyholders will retain their existing coverage, service teams, and contacts as the companies pursue a phased integration.
WCF, founded in 1917 and headquartered in Sandy, Utah, has more than $1.5 billion in policyholder surplus and offers workers’ compensation and other commercial insurance products nationwide. Coverager noted the announcement follows Sompo’s July agreement to acquire Service Insurance Companies.
