RLI is a specialty property and casualty insurer that operates nationwide on both an admitted and excess and surplus lines basis. Our roots can be traced back to 1958, when RLI founder, Gerald D. Stephens, helped run a family-owned retail insurance agency before identifying an unmet need in the contact lens insurance market. He founded RLI in 1965 to meet that need, making RLI one of the first insurers of contact lenses in the world.
