Crawford

General information

If you have filed an insurance claim of any type, you are familiar with the work of Crawford & Company. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, we are the world's largest publicly listed independent provider of claims management solutions to insurance companies and self-insured entities.

In 1941, Jim Crawford watched milk trucks from several companies delivering to neighboring houses in Columbus, Georgia. He thought it would be much more efficient and less costly if an independent company carried milk for multiple dairies in one truck. While the dairy companies failed to recognize the benefit of a consolidated independent service, the insurance industry did not, and the Crawford brand was born. Since that beginning, Crawford has grown into a $1 billion organization with an expansive global network serving clients in more than 70 countries.

Crawford & Company became a public company in 1968 and recently celebrated 75 years of service. Our shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols CRD-A and CRD-B.
