Sabotage and Terrorism
Terrorism is an ever-present threat that can be difficult to predict and quantify. With losses, costs or damages incurred as a result of terrorist activity typically excluded from a standard commercial insurance policy, an act of terrorism can have a significant impact on a business’ bottom line.
Designed to protect against both direct physical damage and resultant business interruption ensuing from a politically, religiously or ideologically motivated violent act, this product provides market-leading cover worldwide and responds to globally nuanced risks.
The syndicate is a market-leader for sabotage and terrorism insurance globally, having been one of the first syndicates to provide terrorism coverage in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Our sabotage and terrorism product can be tailored in accordance with the needs of each client.
Cover
Talbot AIG has the capacity to provide up to $175 million in cover.
Significantly, our policy will provide compensation for both US Treasury certified and non-certified acts of terrorism to provide total assurance to our clients and their businesses.
