Terrorism & Political Violence Insurance

Insuring the unpredictable

It’s hard to name a risk as unpredictable as terrorism and political violence. Market volatility, constantly evolving risks, and the devastating consequences of inadequate cover demand a broker who is on top of their game.

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’s included in your policy?

Our team has developed terrorism and political violence facilities to provide the most cost-effective programme, whilst offering the full range of coverage available. We are a leading specialist in the design and delivery of innovative, tailor-made facilities that meet the specific needs of our clients.

Sometimes, a terrorist incident might cause business interruption without any property getting damaged, for example if there’s an attack on the people in a building but not the building itself. With subsequent investigations into the event, a business might still lose revenue in the weeks or months following the terrorist attack despite their buildings remaining intact – so it’s important to check whether your policy includes non-damage terrorism coverage too.
