Terrorism Insurance

Terrorism insurance is a type of insurance that can be purchased in the United States to cover potential losses. It is very expensive and is priced on a case-by-case basis because underwriting terrorist risk is extremely difficult. The combination of uncertainty and potentially huge losses keep many insurance carriers out of the market. The location of the insured is a significant factor. Large buildings in large cities carry the highest premiums. Smaller properties in rural areas receive the best premium rates. Terrorism insurance policies are not standard policies. They differ greatly but most cover property damage and business interruption, including loss of profits. Most exclude acts of war, cyber events, and nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological events.

Most insurance companies domiciled in California will not insure the following: ambulance services, amusement parks, fireworks displays, blasting operations, building demolition, scaffolding contractors, and security guards. Consequently, these high risk areas and others are almost insured by foreign insurance companies.
