Your Voice is Needed. Take Action on Issues Important to Westfield Today.

A message from Ed Largent, Chief Executive Officer and Board Chair
At Westfield, we believe our responsibility to our customers and communities goes beyond issuing policies — it includes helping shape the public policies that impact how we serve and protect them.
That’s the intent of GrOW — Grassroots of Westfield: a platform for Westfield employees to learn, engage, and raise their voices on the issues that matter most to our business, our customers, and the future of insurance.
One of the most pressing issues facing our industry is legal system abuse — the misuse of our civil courts in ways that drive up claim costs, increase premiums, and limit access to affordable coverage. This includes things like excessive jury awards (“nuclear verdicts”), venue shopping, and third-party litigation funding — trends that hurt not just insurers, but families, businesses, and entire communities.
Through Legal System Abuse Reform (LSAR), we have an opportunity to restore fairness, reduce unnecessary legal costs, and support a stable insurance marketplace. That change starts with education and engagement.
GrOW can help you:
- Understand the issues affecting our industry in plain terms
- Contact lawmakers through easy-to-use tools
- Take action to show your support of pressing industry issues
You don’t have to be a policy expert to make a difference — just someone who cares about policyholders and the integrity of our industry. And the more lawmakers hear from Westfield employees, the more of an impact we can make advocating for fair, balanced, and effective policies.
Thanks for visiting GrOW. Take a moment to explore, learn, and get involved. Because this isn’t just about insurance — it’s about protecting something we all believe in.
It’s your business — help protect it.
