Terrorism Insurance coverage for investment properties

Terrorism, and politically and ideologically-motivated violence has become more commonplace over the past two decades, leading insurance carriers to list these acts as exclusions on most property policies.

We believe this coverage is so important that it is included on all eligible properties unless it is declined by the client.

Comparing NREIG’s Terrorism and Political Violence coverage and TRIA

After 9/11 caused $45 billion in insurance losses, many insurers sought to exclude terrorism from standard commercial policies. As a result, Congress passed the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (TRIA)  to provide a “backstop” for insurers (with federal loss-sharing) in the event of a major terrorist act. Among other provisions, TRIA required insurers to make terrorism coverage available to their policyholders, while also outlining the requirements by which an act of terrorism would trigger coverage under TRIA. Our standalone terrorism policy differs from TRIA in a number of ways:
