Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - A Successful (yet somewhat untested) case of disaster financing : terrorism insurance under TRIA, 2002-2020

Notas: Sumario: The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA) established a publicprivate partnership between the U.S. federal government, private insurers, and all commercial enterprises operating on U.S. soil. Renewed and modified in January 2015 until December 2020, the TRIA program requires insurers to offer terrorism insurance to their commercial policyholders while providing insurers with free up-front financial protection up to $100 billion against terrorist attacks in the United States. With the federal government providing a financial safety net, the private insurance sector can offer coverage against an uncertain risk that would otherwise be largely considered uninsurable, thus making terrorism insurance widely available and affordable. TRIA is a successful case of publicprivate disaster risk financing that has received bipartisan political support. Yet it remains untested for large losses and it is unclear how the market and policymakers will react should another large-scale insured loss occur. TRIA also raises concerns about the indemnification of individual victims of a terrorist attack (in addition to workers' compensation).Registros relacionados: En: Risk management & insurance review. - Malden, MA : The American Risk and Insurance Association by Blackwell Publishing, 1999- = ISSN 1098-1616. - 01/03/2018 Tomo 21 Número 1 - 2018 , p. 157-180Materia / lugar / evento: Terrorismo Indemnizaciones Terrorism Risk Insurance Act Seguro de riesgos extraordinarios Atentados Mercado de seguros Otros autores: Kunreuther, Howard
