Farmers Insurance-David Kang

The Oregon Insurance Guaranty Association (OIGA) is a non-profit statutory entity established in 1971, responsible for ensuring the protection of property and casualty insurance policyholders in Oregon in the event of a member insurer's insolvency. Composed of most licensed property and casualty insurance companies in the state, OIGA operates under Oregon state law to provide financial security to affected claimants. In cases where a member insurer is deemed insolvent and ordered to liquidate by a court, the OIGA steps in to offer protection up to legally specified limits for eligible policyholders. This vital service aims to uphold the interests of Oregon residents, ensuring they are not left vulnerable in the face of insurance company failures. Generated from the website

Trico Insurance began as Tri-County Insurance in 1964 by a Beaverton home builder, Wedgwood Homes. At that time it was generally a captive agency writing business for Wedgwood Homes only. They were building throughout Oregon and Washington at that time. In 1973 the agency was purchased by Philip Brown and Marilyn Walker and it became a full fledged independent agency at that time, representing many companies over the years. Phil and Marilyn's first office was on Watson Street in Beaverton. As the agency expanded it relocated to an office on the corner of Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway and 103rd, then to Laurel Street near 103rd in Beaverton. Their next move was to 110th St. Just prior to Christmas of 1997 the office was nearly destroyed by fire. Following that disaster the agency moved to its current address on 107th, right off of Beaverton-Hillsdale. In 2004 the agency name was changed to Trico Insurance, LLC. On October 29th, 2006, co-founder Phil Brown passed away. Effective the first of January 2007, Cliff Erikson, who joined the agency in the spring of 2003, purchased the agency from Phil's partner, Marilyn Walker. Marilyn continues to work for the agency assisting her many personal lines customers with their insurance needs.
