In today's episode, Abe talks about the recent arrests of ISIS affiliated individuals in three major cities in the US last week, reviews the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, and breaks down the Sept 11 2001 insurance claims by the numbers. The biggest claim category is surprising. Today's episode sponsored by the company that will help your Agency get through this crazy hard market: https://theinsurancedream.com/digital-marketing
A terrorist attack causes massive property damage, including to an insured business. The adjuster assigned to the claim is sure they've seen something in the policy about terrorism disclosure or terrorism caps, but isn't sure what. In this episode, Tim, Alissha, and Mike will explore the TRIA act which enables coverage for minor terrorism losses, and why it likely does not apply to this scenario. Notable Timestamps [ 01: 40 ] - This episode concerns a real-life event, the 2020 Christmas Nashville bombing, in which the individual who set off the bomb died, several others were injured, and many businesses were damaged. [ 03:15 ] - The “War” exclusion would not apply, as many insurers found out after the attacks on September 11, 2001. [ 06:17 ] - What is TRIA? The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act made terrorism insurance available to businesses on a voluntary basis, for terrorist attacks certified by the Department of the Treasury. [ 08:52 ] - Under TRIA, a terrorist attack is dangerous to life, property, or infrastructure; has resulted in damage within the U.S.; was committed as part of an effort to coerce U.S. civilians; results in at least $5M in aggregate damage. [ 09:45 ] - In the Nashville bombing, the elements of a terrorist attack under TRIA were not met due to the lack of the coercion, amount, and certification elements. Because the TRIA elements are echoed in the policy's terrorism exclusion, this likely means the claim is covered. [ 13:12 ] - After the Boston Marathon Bombing, many insurers faced the same issues. The event was never certified by the Department of Treasury as a terrorist attack. [ 14:45 ] - No event has ever been certified in this manner, but terrorism insurance exists and is affordable, so in that sense TRIA has been a success. [ 15:44 ] - Tim provides a quick recap of the points above.
