Terrorism & Political Violence

Terrorism and political violence aren’t risks that can be transferred but some of the commercial consequences can. The effects of these attacks can cause property damage, loss of income, bodily injury and death, loss of attraction, loss of reputation, loss of key personnel… the list goes on. 


Terrorism and political violence are often excluded from many types of insurance, so a specific terrorism policy can fill the gap in your portfolio and keep you fully protected. Use an experienced broker to get you the right cover that’s ready to stand strong when you need it most. 

What does terrorism and political violence insurance cover? 

We have access to a range of insurers who provide reputable cover for terror-related events. Policies include different clauses, but all broadly fit into these three categories:

1. Terrorism insurance 

Covers against loss or damage to insured property and the ensuing loss of income caused by acts of terrorism, sabotage and political violence.

2. Political violence insurance 

As above, this policy provides cover against loss or damage to insured property and the ensuing loss of income caused by acts of terrorism and sabotage, with certain extensions. 

This type of policy extends cover to:

  • Riots, strikes and/or civil commotion
  • Malicious damage
  • Insurrection, revolution or rebellion
  • Mutiny and/or coup d’etat
  • War and/or civil war
  • Counter-insurgency
