What Insureds Have Said:
“The team members at AEU are more like friends and family rather than business partners. They listen to what we say and truly understand our needs and meet them every time. They genuinely care about the injured workers and go over and above to take care of them.”

“Once we partnered with AEU, we never looked back. The personal approach AEU takes with every member, and the way they help us keep our costs down, is the key for us.”
– Safety Compliance Manager
“In 20+ years of being in this industry, I’ve never had a partner like AEU before. They really make the effort for the next step in communication and support. AEU’s offerings and trainings, in addition to bringing other members together to cross-train and visit each other’s facilities, has been a significant boost over the past seven years of our partnership.”

“I appreciate how AEU is always looking for ways to improve medical treatment, shorten the length of time missed from work and drive cost savings. The open communication on all levels is above and beyond what one would expect from an insurance provider. I’m proud to be a partner with AEU for 18+ years.”
