What does Transurance pay for? Transurance pays for losses that occur in conjunction with traditionally insured losses but which are not covered by traditional insurance policies. We refer to these losses as “collateral damage." The Transurance proceeds may be used by the insured for any purpose, without qualification. Transurance simply pays a specified percentage of the loss paid by a referenced traditional policy, i.e. 10% Transurance means that the Transurance policy will pay 10% of the referenced loss payment.
Which industries should consider Transurance? Collateral damages occur with every type of property and casualty loss regardless of the location of the property, the industry involved in the loss, or the peril that causes the loss.
How valuable is Transurance from a risk management perspective? Dollar for dollar, Transurance has as much or more value than the insurance that it references but without all of the hassle that is involved in buying traditional insurance coverage and settling insurance claims. While the probability of having a property or casualty loss is relatively small, the consequences of that loss may be devastating. Just as insurance helps mitigate the financial impact of the direct costs associated with such a loss, Transurance helps mitigate the collateral damage.
