Beazley, a leading insurer of event cancellation and other forms of contingency business at Lloyd’s, says it will start underwriting the risk in the United States beginning in 2013.
“Superstorm Sandy highlighted once again the need on the part of the event organizers for robust event cancellation coverage,” says Chris Rackliffe, head of Beazley’s contingency team, in a statement “We see great opportunity in the U.S. market.”
