Founded in 1942, Pinnacle Insurance Group of Indiana is the culmination of two long-standing, respected, independent insurance firms in Northwest Indiana (Fleming, Bates & Barber Insurance in Crown Point and Smith Insurance Agency in Hobart). We proudly serve clients throughout the state of Indiana and other states across this great nation. We provide service in a professional and ethical manner without sacrificing or compromising the true needs of our clients. In May 2020, World Insurance Associates LLC (WIA), a Top 100 Insurance Agency, acquired Pinnacle Insurance Group of Indiana. The agency continues to serve its communities with respect, honesty, and integrity. The advisors at Pinnacle are committed to professionalism and extensive education to serve the complex needs of their clients. Mark Bates, Principal of Pinnacle Insurance Group, states, “World Insurance has large resources and local relationships, our clients never have to compromise again. They get the best of both worlds, with World. Our brand pillars of Trustworthy, Reliable, Connected, Relatable and Accessible are the core foundation of World. As an active owner, I look forward to continuing to grow our footprint and World brand to better serve our clients.”
