New Disability Plan For Entertainers

For more than 35 years, Petersen International Underwriters of Valencia, California has been in the business of writing high-limit disability insurance for the men and women of the film, television and music industries.

They are pleased to announce the return of the StarCoverSM disability plan to the American insurance marketplace.  The product has had a complete makeover, modernized and refurbished for today’s showbiz clientele.  The focus of StarCoverSM is fiduciary security and income protection of the Hollywood elite – the talent in front of the camera and behind the microphone.

The new plan touts a true “own occupation” definition of disability as well as robust high-limit monthly and lump sum benefit schedules.  According to Jimmy Petersen, marketing director of Petersen International, “What explicitly sets the new StarCoverSM program apart from the rest of the market is its uniquely designed “disfigurement rider” which provides primary benefits to a client who has become irreparably maimed or scarred due to an accident or sickness, but is still physically able to work and isn’t considered disabled under traditional industry definitions.  We strongly believe this new product is the next generation of disability income protection for the entertainment industry.”

Petersen International Underwriters specializes in unique disability insurance platforms for high-net-worth individuals, small businesses and large corporations.  They can be reached at (800) 345-8816 or at piu@piu.org.
