Specialized Security Liability Protection
Given the unpredictable nature of specialized security operations, liability insurance offers essential coverage to protect individuals and firms working in high-risk environments.
As an appointed underwriter of HELP (Hostile Environment Liability Protection), ProFinity Insurance Services offers liability coverage for security firms working domestically or overseas, and construction, healthcare and other professionals working in hostile environments around the world. Our clients benefit from the efficiency and expertise of a proven Lloyd's underwriter and a commitment to same-day service.
Product features:
- Written on A-rated Lloyd's paper
- 24/7 emergency response and crisis-management services
- Complimentary risk-mitigation services for insureds
Imagine these scenarios:
- You are a private security company specializing in executive protection, and you are assigned to escort a businesswoman to a high-risk region of Nigeria for a meeting. When returning to the airport after the meeting your vehicle is apprehended by a rebel militia. Your client is alive but has suffered injuries and brings a suit against your firm alleging negligence.
- You operate a canine explosives/narcotics detection firm. You land a job running security checks at a major basketball stadium in Los Angeles. A bomb goes off during one of the games and charges are immediately brought against your firm, even though the details around the incident are not clear.
These examples illustrate real-life situations where you could be at risk without the proper liability coverage. Let us provide the protection you need for your high-risk environment.
