Beazley said it has expanded its terrorism and political violence event cancellation insurance for the sports, entertainment and leisure industries in the U.S.
The larger coverage now includes riots, civil commotion, strikes, the threat of a terrorist act and other potential disruptions to live events.
Beazley, which provides event cancellation insurance, said it expanded its coverage so event organizers, retailers, and entertainment venues can recoup reduce revenues connected to the cancellation, abandonment, disruption or rescheduling of events due to political violence and terrorism.
