Our History

AmeriCat has been in the business of handling catastrophe claims dating back to the 1960’s when we were first known as Nagel’s Claims Service as founded by Owen V. Nagel. Owen, along with his wife Wanita, built a long and successful career of providing catastrophe service to the insurance industry. Along the way, Owen brought two brother-inlaws into the business, his father-in-law and two sons.

The AmeriCat brand was first introduced as a part of the AmeriGroup family of companies in 1992 when it joined sister companies AmeriClaim and AmeriRisk in a move to Aurora, CO. In 2000, AmeriCat took another leap forward with its move to Oklahoma City. Today, Alan Nagel has established and implemented a strategic plan to move AmeriCat from a small/limited company to a full fledged national catastrophe operation.

AmeriCat’s mission remains the same as it was when we started, not to be the biggest—just the best! Everyday, we place emphasis on communications, availability, quality and value to clients. These cornerstones remain as the foundation of our mission. We believe that our work product must be of value to our clients if we want our clients to value our service. We do not care about being the largest independent service - we only care about being the best.
