Terror Attacks in Paris
November 16, 2015
According to CNN reports, three teams of terrorists staged coordinated attacks at six locations throughout Paris late Friday (November 13th, 2015), including a concert hall, the Stade de France and at least two restaurants. At least 352 people were wounded in the attacks, 129 have lost their lives. ISIS claimed responsibility for the terror attacks.
CSA Travel Protection and Generali US Branch consider these attacks to be Terrorist Acts as defined by our policy language. Certain CSA Travel Protection plans offer coverage for some effects of a Terrorist Act, provided the requirements of the plan are met. Customers are strongly encouraged to read their Description of Coverage or Insurance Policy for details regarding their available coverage. For plans purchased on or after 6:20PM EST/3:20PM PST on Friday, November 13th, 2015, please note that there is no coverage for this specific act; at that time, the attacks were no longer an “unforeseeable event” as required by the policy in order to provide coverage. Please contact CSA Travel Protection with questions.
We will add to this whenever we receive an announcement from one of our partners.
