Leave a comment



LINCOLN, R.I. (PRWEB)

Amica Insurance yesterday announced its COVID-19 Auto Refund Program, which will refund up to 10% of customers’ monthly auto premiums over a period of four months, pending regulatory approval. New customers that purchase Amica auto policies before the end of 2020 will also participate in the program.

“While we’ve seen an increase in auto losses as drivers have begun returning to the roads, losses for the year so far remain lower than we had planned,” said Amica Chairman, President and CEO Robert A. DiMuccio. “We anticipate that trend will continue, and we’re pleased to announce this additional round of support through the COVID-19 Auto Refund Program.”

For more information on the program, visit Amica’s COVID-19 Resource Center.

The COVID-19 Auto Refund Program follows the COVID-19 Auto Premium Relief Program that was announced in April. Under that program, Amica provided existing customers with a 20% refund on two months of auto premiums. In total, existing customers are receiving up to six months of support.

“I’d like to once again thank our customers for their loyalty in these unprecedented and ever-changing circumstances,” DiMuccio said. “As always, we’re here to serve you.”

ORLANDO, Fla. (PRWEB)

Louis Law Group, one of Florida’s most renowned property claims and personal injury law firms, announced that its team of knowledgeable and aggressive attorneys will be taking on clients from its new Orlando office by appointments. Whether an individual is a victim of property damage or has received an unacceptably low settlement offer from their insurer, Louis Law Group’s attorneys can help.

About Louis Law Group

Louis Law Group, with main office in Miramar, is laser-focused on helping policyholders obtain full and just compensation for property damages. The firm helps clients with a wide range of property damage claims, including water damage, fire damage, hurricane damage, theft damage, and more.

Louis Law Group attorneys help clients throughout the insurance claims process. Clients who have property insurance and pay premiums are often surprised when their insurance company denies their claims. The clients may not recognize that they are entitled to compensation for certain types of property damage.

In these situations, attorneys from Louis Law Group can help by reviewing the client’s insurance policy, gathering evidence to support the claim, communicating with the client’s insurance company, negotiating potential settlements with the insurer, and even going to trial if the client receives an unacceptably low settlement offer.

While these services are critical to obtaining full and just compensation, Louis Law Group attorneys also provide peace of mind. Clients can be confident that their claim is in good hands. Since Louis Law Group attorneys handle all the procedural elements of the claim, clients can focus on the more important things in their lives.

ATS Hires Seasoned Sales Expert to Expand Disinfectant Distribution in Brazil

Leave a comment


We are optimistic about the results we are seeing in Brazil as a result of Monty’s dedication and decades of experience. We anticipate that the successes found in this hard-hit country will lead to our further global expansion into other Latin American regions.


MIDVALE, Utah (PRWEB)

ATS, a leader in solution-based products for advanced water treatment, has hired Javier “Monty” Montalti as the company’s new South American Sales Manager. Montalti is an experienced international sales and operations professional with more than 20 years’ in the field.

Montalti is building a team of sales professionals to distribute ATS’s chlorine dioxide, a powerful disinfectant used to fight coronavirus, in Brazil — a country experiencing a spike in coronavirus fatalities.

“ATS is a progressive company that seeks out innovative technology to improve lives and eliminate harmful pathogens, ultimately making the world a healthier place,” Montalti said. “As a result, ATS has found ways to make schools, workspaces and public spaces healthier through the use of chlorine dioxide.”

Understanding the urgency and need to help the residents of Brazil, Montalti and his sales team will distribute chlorine dioxide to businesses, shopping districts and large residential areas throughout the most densely populated regions of the country. Simultaneously, Montalti is petitioning the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency to expand distribution efforts.

“It has been heartbreaking to see the fear and devastation COVID-19 has caused across the globe,” said Richard Allred, president, CEO and managing partner of ATS. “We are optimistic about the results we are seeing in Brazil as a result of Monty’s dedication and decades of experience. We anticipate that the successes found in this hard-hit country will lead to our further global expansion into other Latin American regions.”

As of June 22, Brazil, a country of 212 million people, has seen 1,090,349 cases of coronavirus, the world’s 2nd highest number of confirmed cases, with a total of 50,737 deaths. The numbers continue to climb. Also as a result of the virus, the unemployment rate is expected to double from 11.6% to 23.8%.

In addition to helping eradicate the virus with its disinfectant, ATS and Montalti are creating jobs for people who have been laid off due to COVID-19.

“We are in the best place at the right time with the best people and the best product,” Montalti said. “Our product will bless the health and livelihood of many people in Brazil – in many different ways.”
