Erie Insurance, Assure America and Weir High School Promote Safe Driving for Teens
read moreread less
(Weirton, WV) – Thanks to a $2,000 grant from Erie Insurance and its “Lookin’ Out” program, students from Weir High School will continue to spread the word about safe driving among their peers.
“Car crashes are the top killer of U.S. teens,” said Erie Insurance agent Angela Conforti of the Assure America Agency, who is partnering with the students at Weir High to implement the program. “In fact, teen drivers are involved in twice as many crashes as other drivers.”
Lookin’ Out is different from other safe driving programs, as it is rooted in a student-driven approach of positive peer influence. Through Lookin’ Out, teens create a series of events and activities addressing risk factors such as lack of seatbelt use, speeding and other reckless behavior, driving under the influence and distractions such as loud music and cell phone use.
Hilary Frantz, Weir GAA Advisor added, “We really appreciate the opportunity to work with Assure America and Erie Insurance on this program and believe it has the potential to make a real difference in raising awareness of the importance of safe driving habits for students.”
“The Lookin’ Out program is really making a difference in the schools,” Conforti added. “And the students at Weir High School are to be commended for their proactive efforts.”

read moreread less
(Weirton, WV - September 27, 2009) — Assure America Corp. was presented the West Virginia Gem Award for a third year in a row by Erie Insurance. The Gem Award recognizes the West Virginia agency with the highest production of all Erie agencies in the state for the 2009 Annual Dinner Meeting Contest. During the recent 30-day contest period, Assure America wrote 455 property and casualty policies, which was an Erie company record for 2009. Matthew Magnone, Assure America president stated, “Our team of agents at Assure America are exceptional and really set the standard for production. The fact that we led not only West Virginia but companywide in policies written during the 2009 contest period says a lot about the quality of our agents and Erie Insurance, especially in light of the economic challenges we face locally.”
Mike Fletcher, Erie vice president in charge of the state of West Virginia said, “What Assure America did during this contest was simply unbelievable. The numbers they produced were astounding. They wrote more property-casualty applications than any other agent not only in the state of West Virginia, but also more than any other agent in Erie’s entire operating territory for all spring contests,” Fletcher said. “To put this in perspective, Erie is a Fortune 500 company, and there is serious competition. However, the numbers are only half of the story with this agency as far as I’m concerned. The agency is knowledgeable, professional, well-managed, and very structured. It is a very impressive organization,” he added. “This is really a win-win because in addition to outperforming every other Erie agent in the country during this contest period, our agents were able to reduce the insurance premiums for the participating clients by over $75,000,” added John Frankovitch, Assure chief operating officer.
Assure America Corp. is the one of West Virginia’s largest independent insurance agencies representing 10,000 policyholders throughout West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Assure America maintains office locations in Weirton, Chester and Wellsburg.
