Accidents - The Unique Hazard: Acts of Terrorism & War Cover
Sickness, with its usual warning symptoms allows some lead time to prepare for the emotional and economic consequences that follow. ACCIDENTS STRIKE WITHOUT WARNING ! Acts of Terrorism fall into the "Accident" category of coverage.
Medical and Disability Insurance often fall short of covering the costs inherent with accidental bodily injuries and inadequately compensate for the specific losses of limb, sight, speech and hearing (commenly referred to as a "dismemberment"). Life Insurance proceeds are seldom adequate to cover the financial loss due to death.
The life accident hazard is sufficiently unique to merit specific insurance, thus we recommend the Petersen International Underwriters High Limit Accident Plan.

Who can apply for these coverages?
Just about anyone ranging from independent worldwide contractors / subcontractors to embedded journalists, information technology (IT) consultants to truck drivers and security contractors (aka private military companies or PMCs)... and so much more.
The only limitation is that you are NOT engaged in active war (ie; active military engaged in wartime behavior sancioned by governments). Private security contractors are neither, despite the controversy of security contractors in the occupation of Iraq starting in 2003. Such involvement, especially by security contractors is considered to be that of "passive war" and as such, are not actively fighting the war on terrorism, rather are being re-active or passively participating in the war on terrorism. PMCs are a protection force, NOT a war or mercenary force actively fighting in a war.... that is the job of the US active military.
Simply stated: "If your job title involves you to go looking for the fight rather than being passively engaged in the fight", we cannot insure you. PMCs often ask, "Well, we do take fire at times in our line of work when providing logistics and security to diplomats or other clients!" We say, "Defend yourself !", of course. By definition you are engaged in a "passive war" effort in that scenario. We can insure you!
How are these plans priced ?
Life insurance is quoted based on primarily country location(s), occupational duties, length of time needed and amount of coverage requested. For medical insurance policies, they are based more heavily upon the age of the individual (going up in price the older one is), occupation, location(s) and amount of coverage requested. Our accident life policies don't base rates on age unless you are over age 65.
Both the accident life and medical / evacuation insurance plans will automatically be quoted with acts of war and terrorism rider coverage for any of the listed hot spot areas noted in our side bar above and to the right.
The annual premium costs can be wide ranging depending on whether the occupation is "hazardous" or "non-hazardous". As many contracting agencies typically leave it up to the individual to pay for the premium for optional life insurance on their own, our underwriter is willing to offer options for monthly modes of payment if it is a one year term policy. Prices start at about $80/ month and can go up to over $300/ month depending on your situation, occupation, policy amount, etc. We can custom tailor your quotes to get you on budget and all in under 24 hours turn around time.
Although you may have DBA Workers Compensation coverage from your contractor agency (because the US Labor Department made it a law to require it back in 1941), additional coverage may be necessary due to serious potential gaps in coverage and lower limits of coverage under DBA . Note that you may be exposed when OFF the JOB or for any illness or sickness under DBA or just simply underinsured, even on the job !
