Ross & Yerger Insurance is an agency with a long history that does not live in the past. As the firm prepares to celebrate its 150th anniversary, it continues to expand its knowledge base, talent pool and skill sets to provide cutting-edge risk management solutions.
Ross & Yerger's ability to keep innovating and reinventing itself helped earn the firm a spot in this year's winner's circle, receiving an Honorable Mention in the eighth annual National Underwriter Commercial Insurance Agency of the Year award program.
In its award essay, Ross & Yerger said the agency has “proven itself since the days when business suits sold for $10. The firm survived the Great Depression and several wars. In the 1890s, when most business owners across the South closed in the summer months to avoid the Yellow Fever epidemic, Ross & Yerger remained open to take care of client needs. Edward Yerger sent his family away and reportedly ate charcoal, the antidote of the day for the fever.”
