Chubb recently began selling cyber bulling insurance for U.S. homeowners.

The coverage has been added to Chubb’s U.S. Masterpiece Family Protection policy, and it offers up to $60,000 in compensation to clients and family members for expenses connected to harassment and intimidation committed through personal computers, telephones or mobile devices.

Clients can pursue cost recovery when cyber bullying results in wrongful termination, false arrest, or wrongful discipline in a school. A diagnosed debilitating shock, mental anguish or mental injury that leaves a client or family member unable to go to school or work for more than a week is also coverable.

Additionally Chub included compensation in the insurance for psychiatric services, rest and recuperation expenses, lost salary, temporary relocation services, education expenses, professional public relations services and cyber security consultants.
