Liberty Mutual’s Liberty Specialty Markets unit has launched new terrorism insurance coverage in Germany.

Liberty Specialty Markets has used the standard London market cover since entering the market in 2018. The new terrorism coverage focuses on the small and medium sized enterprises (SME) sector in Germany.

The new coverage is comparable to Allgemeine Terror Bedingungen (ATB), the standard terrorism cover in the German market. In addition, LSM offers a range of optional covers; non-damage business interruption and a strikes, riots and civil commotion clause (SRCC). This offers cover for physical loss or damage directly caused by strikers, locked-out workers, participation in labor disruption, and various types of riots.

LSM entered the German war and terrorism market in 2018 as part of its strategy to extend its reach in Europe. Its German book of war and terrorism business is split between multi-nationals with worldwide exposure and domestic SME business.
