Higginbotham

Higginbotham is an insurance brokerage headquartered on West 13th Street in Fort Worth, Texas. It says it has been in business for more than 75 years and has been employee owned since 1989, when its employee ownership plan began; most of its eight-member board has served since then. Its locations page lists about 130 offices. The site does not state a founding year or name the leaders of its aviation practice.

The aviation insurance page lists fixed base operators first among the businesses it serves, followed by MROs, aircraft parts makers and distributors, maintenance shops and mechanics, charter and commercial operators, aerial applicators, drone operators, commercial and municipal airports, flight schools, helicopter operators and aircraft owners. Coverages named include hangar property and hangarkeepers liability, aircraft hull and liability, commercial general liability, commercial auto, pollution liability for fuel spills and other pollutants, workers' compensation and employers' liability, non-owned aircraft, engine and aircraft-on-ground cover, and directors and officers liability. It says its aviation specialists have worked with hundreds of aviation companies worldwide.

Higginbotham does not publish premiums; buyers contact the aviation team through the site. Its aviation page frames pollution cover around fuel spills and cleaning agents, and an FAQ on the same page explains product coverage and other common questions. As a multi-line broker with about 130 offices, it can also place an FBO's commercial auto and property cover alongside the aviation program. The site does not name aviation clients or the underwriters it uses for airport liability.
