2008-08-19Insurance Office of America Helps Clients Combat Equipment Theft

LONGWOOD, FL – Insurance Office of America announced today that it has entered into an alliance with the National Equipment Register (NER) to help Insurance Office of America’s (IOA’s) clients combat the growing problem of construction equipment theft by registering their equipment on NER’s HELPtech database. Through the alliance, IOA’s clients will receive a 20% discount on NER’s HELPtech service and IOA’s staff will be better placed to advise clients about equipment theft risks and solutions through access to NER’s expertise and industry contacts. Furthermore, many major equipment insurers waive theft deductible payments up to $10,000 where a stolen machine is registered through HELPtech prior to a theft. NER's secure and confidential online registration of contractors' equipment, including descriptions of construction equipment and serial numbers, is stored in a national database to support police seeking to identify the true owner of a machine. In addition, registrants are given a warning decal to display on each piece of equipment to deter thieves.
