Protect Your iPhone, iPad, Laptop and Other Electronics from Accidental Damage and Theft with Insurance by Worth Avenue Group

STILLWATER, Okla., Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- For anyone who's experienced the horror of watching their shiny new iPad make a cinematically slow-motion crash to the floor or suffered the indignity of hearing their iPhone plunk unceremoniously into the toilet, the risk of damage or loss of valuable electronics is an expensive proposition. With up to 80 percent of iPhone and iPad failures caused by accidental damage, consumers are clamoring for a cost-effective option to fully protect their valuable investments.

Filling this void, Worth Avenue Group offers the most affordable, comprehensive insurance coverage to protect iPhones and other smartphones, iPads, laptops and other portable electronics against accidental damage and theft. With policies starting as low as just $63 a year for domestic and international coverage, Worth Avenue Group offers the lowest-cost peace of mind protection with unlimited device replacements, backed by exceptional customer service, to help individuals safeguard their valuable electronics.

Drops, Spills—Even Full Submersion: Covered

These days, people rarely leave home without their mobile devices, sometimes even carrying them to places they probably shouldn't—to the bathroom, the gym or while enjoying the great outdoors.

"Many people don't realize that drops and spills are not covered by the factory warranty and you'll have to pony up the cash to buy a replacement," said Aaron Cooper, marketing director with Worth Avenue Group. "With our policies, you're covered against virtually any kind of accidental damage you can think of—and we've seen it all."

Where other companies cover devices against liquid spills, Worth Avenue offers protection against full liquid submersion, providing customers with a check for the full replacement cost of the device in the event their iPhone or other device takes a dunk. Unlike other companies that offer only direct replacement of the damaged or lost device, Worth Avenue customers are free to use their claim check virtually any way they please.

Worth Avenue Group is the only provider to cover refurbished, unlocked, hacked or jail broken iPhone and iPad devices and the only insurer to extend worldwide coverage at the same low premium and $50 deductible as domestic coverage. And, unlike other insurers, coverage through Worth Avenue Group can be purchased at any time—even after the "new" wears off the device.

Laptop and Desktop Computer Insurance for Just Pennies a Day

Worth Avenue Group's computer insurance offers full replacement cost and worldwide coverage against theft and accidental damage to a wide range of computing devices, including laptop and desktop computers (both PC and Mac), Netbooks, Notebooks, tablets and the Amazon Kindle e-reader. With flexible deductibles to fit any budget, Worth Avenue Group offers exclusive protection against virus damage. In the event a machine is infected by a virus, Worth Avenue will cover the cost of restoration and repair at the repair shop of your choice.

"For most people, and even most companies, a new computer is a pretty sizable investment," Cooper said. "Our policies allow individuals, schools and corporations to gain valuable coverage at an affordable price to protect their investment. You can even add your smart phone, iPod, digital camera or gaming system to any computer policy for just a few dollars more."

Exclusive Coverage for Peripheral Devices

For every covered device, Worth Avenue Group extends protection to virtually any peripheral up to the full amount of the policy. Items covered include any peripheral that can be plugged into the iPhone, iPad, laptop or desktop PC, such as printers, speakers, monitors, etc.

In the event of a device disaster, Worth Avenue Group policy holders can quickly and easily submit a claim online or by calling the company's in-house claim center.

"With us, you'll always get a real person when you call, and you'll have the luxury of dealing with the same representative throughout the claims process," Cooper said. "We're highly focused on not only providing the best coverage at the most affordable rate, but also delivering the best customer service in the business."

Worth Avenue Group also offers insurance to cover all styles and brands of televisions, including plasma, LCD and HD TVs, against accidental damage, theft and more.
