More information on terrorism insurance

Our world has changed, nit for the better this time. Now terrorism is a household item just like burglary or fire.

Workers compensation and other coverages
Workers compensation, a compulsory line of insurance for all businesses, covers employees injured or killed on the job and therefore automatically includes coverage for acts of terrorism.

The September 11, 2001 terrorist attack resulted in an estimated $32.5 billion in insured losses.

Collecting Your Insurance Claim

When it comes to buying products, insurance is different. When you buy a car, for example, you get to drive it home. When you buy a house, you live in it.
