HUGH GETS YOU
When it comes to risk, you've got to stay sharp.
You create what the world needs—whether it's precision parts for aerospace, custom pieces for local manufacturers, or those one-off jobs that nobody else wants to touch. It takes serious skill to turn raw material into something that fits perfectly every single time.
But there’s a lot that can go sideways in a machine shop. Machinists experience about 18,000 injuries per year in the U.S. When one of your workers cuts their hand on a moving part, you need coverage you can trust—not a scrap job that will fall apart when it matters most. That’s where Hugh fits in.
why you need it
Workers' comp, calibrated for you.
A place doing high-volume production runs faces different risks than one specializing in prototype work or heavy fabrication. Unlike other insurance companies, Hugh takes the time to understand what you're actually doing so your coverage and pricing reflect your real situation, not some generic "manufacturing" category.
We treat your shop like the one-of-a-kind operation it is.
Plus, we cut through the jargon. You already have blueprints and machine-speak floating around in your brain. You don’t need to learn a whole new language just for insurance. No confusing paperwork mazes or weeks of back-and-forth here. Just straightforward coverage that’s precision-engineered for your business.
how it works
Getting coverage for your shop is easy.
No endless paperwork, no waiting weeks for answers, no getting passed around to five different people. Just straight talk and real results.
Hugh will ask you a few quick questions about your restaurant. Nothing crazy, just the basics about your business and team.
He’ll crunch the numbers and get you a real quote. Not some ballpark nonsense, but actual pricing you can work with.
If you have questions, Hugh answers them. When you’re ready to move forward, he’ll get your policy set up. Done.

Protection you can count on.
Hugh partners with leading national insurance carriers like AmTrust that have a reputation for helping small businesses. They provide the protection behind your policy, from temporary disability to job retraining, so your business is covered if anyone gets hurt on the job.
Medical Coverage
Covers medical treatment, rehabilitation, and lost wages for employees injured on the job, ensuring proper care and support.
Temporary Disability
Wage replacement for employees temporarily unable to work due to work-related injuries, keeping them financially secure.
Permanent Disability
Compensates permanent impairments, helping them manage ongoing costs if they cannot return to their previous job.
Job Retraining
Funds retraining or skill development for employees unable to return to their previous position, helping them transition to new work
MACHINE SHOP COVERAGE MADE SIMPLE
Traditional insurance puts a square peg in a round hole.
Big insurance companies are built for volume, not relationships. You're account number 847,293 calling into a call center where the person helping you is reading from a script and has never set foot in a machine shop. When you need something handled, you're explaining your business from scratch every single time.
Then they'll drag out claims, demand mountains of paperwork, and make your injured worker jump through hoops when they should be focusing on getting better. You've got enough to worry about keeping your machine shop running smoothly. That's why we keep it simple and focus on just one thing: supporting you and your business.
Coverage for every size, in every state.
Whether you have 2 employees or 2000, Hugh has your business covered.
Small Businesses
Hugh provides you with workers’ comp that meets your state’s requirements, fits your budget, and protects the business you’ve worked so hard to build.
Growing Teams
As you add staff or open new locations, Hugh carefully matches workers’ comp policies to each additional team and location, so you can expand with confidence.
Nationwide Operations
For large businesses, Hugh simplifies the complex, aligning coverage throughout your operation so every box is checked and every employee is protected.
Many machine shops love Hugh—so will you.
