Heffernan Launches Insurance Program for Participants of the Burning Man Event

Wednesday, June 29, 2011

San Francisco, June 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --Heffernan Insurance Brokers has launched a unique program called Insurance on the Playa, which offers coverage for participants of the Burning Man event. Coverage can include liability for theme camps, art cars and art installations as well as coverage for owned or rented property.  
 
Historically, participants have found securing insurance for the Burning Man event to be a challenge.  Many brokers and carriers were not familiar with the Burning Man event and therefore had a difficult time understanding how to underwrite the exposures.  Heffernan's Amy Vitarelli (San Francisco) and Benjamin Stern (Los Angeles)worked for two years putting the program together.  As veteran participants of Burning Man themselves, they were able to work closely with a key, top-rated carrier in underwriting the program.  
 
"We are really excited to be able to offer participants a way to protect themselves," commented Vitarelli, to which Stern added, "While at the same time, making the process extremely easy and affordable."  Quotes can be obtained by going to the Heffernan website at www.heffins.com or by going directly to www.insuranceontheplaya.com.
 
Heffernan Insurance Brokers offers a full line of property, liability, group medical insurance, personal insurance and financial services. The company provides insurance products and services to individuals, as well as to a diverse group of companies within a variety of industries including construction, manufacturing, wine, property owners, nonprofits, and technology.
