War and terrorism

Protection for unpredictable environments

War and terrorism feel like ever-present concerns for businesses as the risk of terrorist attacks, hijackings, sabotage, war, and political instability continues to grow around the globe. In the U.S., businesses must also think about these risks as civil unrest becomes more prevalent.

If you are looking for a stable, dependable partner for protection against sabotage, strikes, riots, and more, we’re ready to help. Our war and terrorism solutions can help protect business property and provide business interruption coverage should an event disrupt operations.

Our war and terrorism coverage is available from Liberty Specialty Markets and Liberty Mutual.

  • Lost income if operations shut down
  • Extra expenses to continue operating

Coverage highlights include:

  • Capacity up to $250M

  • Malicious damage
  • Insurrection, rebellion, revolution, mutiny, coup d’état

Offered stand-alone or with our property coverage, each policy is backed by the financial strength, stability, and capacity of a Fortune 100 company.
