Active Assailant Insurance | Workplace Violence Coverage

We offer active assailant insurance, which is also called active shooter coverage or workplace violence coverage, from a variety of highly rated insurance companies. Active assailant insurance is a product that has been developed to specifically address the increasing risk associated with mass shooting events that have taken place in recent years. Places where people gather and that don't have a high level of security, such as shopping malls, retail stores, theaters, schools, bar, restaurants, hotels, hospitals, live events, amusement parks, religious institutions, and workplaces, face a higher risk of being targeted for mass shootings. Active assailant insurance is designed to help mitigate the financial fallout that can follow one of those unfortunate events.

There is no standard active assailant insurance policy and the coverage varies by insurance company. In general, active assailant insurance includes various first-party and third-party coverages that are designed to address the financial impact of an active assailant event, such as the following:

Coverage under the policy is usually triggered by a physical attack by an active assailant event involving the use of a weapon. The amount of available coverage varies by insurance company and some carriers offer policy limits up to $25 million. As the coverage provided under active assailant insurance can differ by insurance company, the policy should be carefully reviewed in order to understand the exact scope and limitations of the coverage.

As commercial general liability insurance policies and other insurance products do not properly address the risk associated with active assailants, it is important for these organizations to review their exposure to a mass shooting event and explore how active assailant insurance could help mitigate their exposure to a financial loss.
