Loss Scenario – Foreign GL Our insured stored food products at a public warehouse in Rotterdam, Holland. The warehouse owner reported that there was an infestation of mites at the location caused by contaminated product that our insured placed in the storage facility. Because of the infestation, all outgoing shipments were blocked by the owner. Chubb claims determined that our insured’s product was the cause of the infestation and the claim settled for slightly less than $300,000 to pay for the infestation to other stored goods.
Who Needs Multinational Insurance? • Clients who generate any revenues from sources outside Canada • Clients with employees traveling outside Canada • Clients with fixed assets outside Canada
International Automobile Coverage • DIC and Excess Liability insurance up to $1,000,000 • Requires that compulsory automobile insurance be purchased locally • No compulsory self-insured liability retention required • Broad definition of covered automobiles
Loss Scenario – International Auto While visiting Ireland on a business trip, our insured borrowed a car from a colleague. While driving, our insured hit a house and killed a man. The owner’s local policy declined the claim due to poor maintenance of the auto – the tire treads were too low. Total loss exceeded $200,000.
Foreign Voluntary Workers Comp • Bodily injury by accident or disease in the course of temporary foreign employment • Primary coverage provided for employees on a 24 hour basis • MEDEX travel assistance services included • No war or terrorism exclusion
MEDEX Services • Worldwide medical referrals • Emergency medical evacuations • Repatriation • Assistance with the coordination of rehabilitation after an evacuation • Arrangement of emergency medication, blood & vaccine transfers • Continuous updates to family, home physician &/or employer when appropriate
Loss Scenario – FVWC A U.S. Employee for a communications firm was in London, England for a business trip. While walking down the street, and not being familiar with the surroundings, the employee was looking in the wrong direction when hit by a bus. The employee received immediate care and Chubb Claims set a reserve of $700,000.
Admitted D&O Coverage • Locally issued limits up to $5M • Canadian-issued policy acts as a “global umbrella” sitting over the local underlying coverages • Aggregated deductibles and limits are available, where permitted • DIC/DIL cover fills potential coverage gaps
Why a Multinational D & O Policy? • Regulatory enforcements of admitted requirements are on the rise • Executives sitting on international subsidiary boards require adequate protection • Canadian/US policy terms not always tailored for lawsuits brought abroad
Kidnap/Ransom and Extortion Insurance • Financial protection in the event an organization suffers a kidnapping or other extortion loss. • Insurance provided for: • Fees for independent negotiators • Rewards paid to informants • Salary continuation • Reasonable medical expenses
Loss Scenario The owner of a family-run business was abducted while traveling overseas. The kidnappers demanded a $3 million ransom payment. A security consulting firm was immediately called in to deal with the situation. The consultants negotiated a ransom of $625,000, delivered the payment, and recovered the victim unharmed. Total Loss was $675,000
