Workplace Violence, Threat and Hazard Insurance

Workplace Violence, Threat and Hazard Insurance

In today’s world threats come from many sources and in the case of attacks by armed assailants they can be incredibly difficult to defend against.

As the frequency and mode of terror attacks change there is a growing expectation that businesses do more to protect employees and customers.

Although shootings make the headlines, we have also seen the devastation can be wrought by knives and road vehicles.

We are now seeing some States in the USA passing legislation requiring public schools to implement a mobile panic alert system in the event of an attack.

We are working with our US direct broker partner Arcana Insurance Solutions Inc.

Malicious Attack Liability insurance

No matter the motivation or arsenal of an attacker, business and institutions can be held liable for any harm that comes to their employees or customers. Malicious attack liability offers guaranteed primary protection should businesses face legal action as a direct result of a malicious attack. Despite the unpredictability of such events, organizations have a duty of care and can be found liable for a myriad of reasons, as well as faced with crippling defense costs for potential claims. A malicious attack liability policy will respond for defense costs and damages, providing clients the coverage they require.

Primary cover for peace of mind

Where general liability (GL) policies are silent and can refuse coverage, malicious attack liability is explicitly clear on coverage, providing businesses with peace of mind that their defense costs are protected, and damages resulting from legal action covered.

Personalized protection

Every business is unique, so coverage needs to be as well. Whether protection is needed for loss of attraction, crisis management, counseling or medical costs, this product is modular and can be personalized to a range of requirements (subject to the terms and conditions of the policy).

Educational establishments along with businesses, such as retail and entertainment venues, are likely targets but others such as religious institutions and healthcare facilities are not immune.

The reasons are quite straightforward. These establishments can be hard to secure and the high volume of people present each day increases the chances of an armed individual entering unchallenged and wreaking a high level of damage in a short space of time.
