Comprehensive Loss Assessment Services for Riots, Civil Unrest, and Malicious Damage Claims

Riots, civil unrest, and malicious damage can give rise to significant claims both in respect of physical damage, business interruption and loss of attraction. This area is complex, and there are some specific rules arising from changes to the law in 2016/17 and regulations in 2017/18.

Historically, riot damage and consequential losses arising from them were excluded from cover, but could be bought back into cover as a policy extension. Over time, some package policies and some commercial combined policies include the extension automatically.

At Harris Balcombe, our partners and expert business interruption staff have significant experience with commercial claims, particularly during the 2011 UK riots. We continue to be at the forefront of commercial claims acting solely for claimants, and offer a no obligation initial discussion on how we might be able to help.

If your business or premises have suffered from riot damage, the experts at Harris Balcombe will be happy to review your policy to determine whether you have cover, and to what extent. Please contact our 24/7 Helpline on 0330 022 9179 or Start your Claim now.
