Abacus Insurance Brokers Expands Online Stunt Coverage Offering
LOS ANGELES, CALIF.-- Abacus Insurance Brokers, Inc., a Los Angeles-based program manager that distributes specialty insurance products online through www.abacus.net, has enhanced its portfolio of production programs by expanding the range of eligible stunts.
Coverage for pyrotechnics, demolitions, explosions, wild animals, car chases and motorcycles has been added to programs already covering such stunts as fight scenes, falls, non-wild animal, precision driving, aerial shots, water scenes and weapon use.
Coverage is available for domestic productions in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. and for certain overseas productions.
Earlier this year, Abacus became the first program manager or insurance carrier to offer stunt coverage online. In 1998, Abacus was the first to offer entertainment insurance online. It is still the only program manager from which production insurance can be transacted completely online.
“We continue to deliver solutions to our nationwide network of brokers,” said Darren Lewin, Abacus vice president of program development. “With these additional stunt offerings, brokers have even more reason to utilize abacus.net for solutions for their clients. Abacus will answer the needs of our brokers by continuing to introduce complex specialty products to our proprietary online delivery system.”
