Active Assailant Insurance
from
Business Risk Partners
Why is this Product Needed?
2019 saw a dramatic increase in both frequency and severity of incidents through both lone shooter and terrorist attacks. In recent years, the modus operandi of terror attacks has changed towards the lone wolf style incidents. It is not always easy to identify the motive behind an attack, so this product doesn’t require it to be terrorism or workplace violence (although both would be covered under the policy); it has significantly broader triggers for coverage – even if an incident doesn’t occur, but is only threatened.
