“Cardinal E&S” is a service mark owned by CNA Financial Corporation. Certain CNA Financial Corporation subsidiaries, including Columbia Casualty Company, use the “Cardinal E&S” service mark in connection with underwriting and claims activities. Columbia Casualty Company is a U.S. domiciled surplus lines insurer. Surplus lines insurers do not generally participate in state guarantee funds, and insureds are therefore not protected by such funds.
