Strikes, Riots and Civil Commotion (SRCC)

Talbot AIG provides worldwide cover for SRCC. We can offer protection against property damage and business interruption losses sustained during a committed action by a group of people to disturb the public peace for political purposes or motivations.

Previous events to have triggered SRCC policies include:

  • Arab Spring (2010) a series of anti-government protests, uprisings and armed rebellions that spread across North Africa and the Middle East resulting in significant property damage and business interruption.
  • Riots in Thailand (2013-2014) during a period of political instability resulted in anti-government protests which lead to extensive property damage and business interruption.
  • Riots in Mexico (January 2017) following a rise in fuel prices, resulting in looting, property damage, and business interruption.
  • Riots in Haiti (March 2018) during which a hotel was targeted by local civilians resulting in significant property damage
