Helicopter Pilots Land Individual Liability Insurance Coverage

2008-04-29 22:29:10 -

- Evolution Insurance Brokers announced a new "individual" liability insurance product to the aviation industry. The coverage offers customized, one-of-a-kind, individual protection plans to helicopter pilots and other aviation-related roles - an industry first. Branded as Xinsurance.com, and titled "Pilot Shield," the new offering is not a substitute for traditional insurance, but rather fills the gaps of other insurance coverage, providing "individual" scheduled coverage for virtually ANYTHING! This coverage includes defense and indemnity for a claim or incidents resulting in a lawsuit. Until now, helicopter pilots have not been offered this type of liability protection.

Rick J. Lindsey, President and CEO of Prime, said, "We have over 28 years of experience in excess, surplus and hard-to-place insurance, and have slowly entered the aircraft market over the past four years. Helicopter pilots are just one class we feel is misunderstood and unfairly excluded from other traditional or legacy carrier plans. EIB is uniquely qualified to handle all kinds of aviation insurance, not just to pilots, but owners, fractional owners and operators as well. We can provide a quote for any related business operations and exposures."

Lindsey added that, "EIB enjoyed tremendous exposure at the Heli Expo 2008 in Houston. While there, we quickly discovered we could be a valuable resource to helicopter owners, pilots, Certified Flight Instructors, Aircraft Maintenance Technicians and others looking for individual liability protection."

With the introduction of Pilot Shield and a Garmin 495 GPS giveaway, the EIB booth was a popular spot at the annual trade show. Craig Dixon of Arizona and Thomas R. Bencin, Jr. of Ohio were the two GPS winners.
