Lee as Vice President, Rachael Cavanaugh as Employee Benefits Associate, and Jeannine Kwatoski as Employee Benefits Specialist, alongside account managers in personal lines, commercial lines, and employee benefits.

Rush Insurance Group emphasizes service after a claim is filed, with the agency describing its role as staying with clients from the moment something happens through to resolution, rather than leaving them to handle a claim alone.

For drivers, homeowners, and business owners across Western Massachusetts, Rush Insurance Group pairs the reach of a multi-carrier independent agency with local offices in Chicopee and the surrounding communities.
