USI’s Standalone Terrorism Facility Solution Better Option to Newly Authorized Government-Backed TRIA Program
Valhalla, N.Y. (PRWEB) January 12, 2015 -- In the wake of the U.S. Senate passing the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program (TRIA)*, USI Insurance Services (“USI”) announced its Terrorism Facility Solution remains a viable alternative. Unlike the TRIA program, the USI solution is not limited to acts of terrorism certified by the federal government and responds to terrorism events regardless if caused by a foreign national or U.S. citizen. And, whereas the government program will not respond to a terrorism event unless it exceeds $200 million in damage, there is no minimum level for this coverage to respond.
Underwritten by Lloyd’s of London, this alternative solution is competitive and available worldwide. Furthermore, it comes with low and flexible deductibles, and is priced individually rather than as a percentage of all-risk premium. To summarize, key features of the program include:
• a limit of up to a maximum of $200 million;
• the broadest definition of terrorism available, including coverage for political, religious and ideological-motivated attacks;
• flexible markets on deductible options, and in some cases offer terms with zero deductible;
• coverage of terrorism acts not certified by U.S. government;
• response to events carried out by both U.S. citizens and foreign nationals; and
• coverage is provided by Lloyds’ leading terrorism insurers
