Directory of Contingency Insurance Providers

Contingency insurance relates to the insurance of unpredictable, catastrophic losses. This is a specialty niche which is for one time events or unique ventures which may never occur but if they did there could be a considerable cost.

It arose out of the need to indemnify sponsors or promoters for the losses sustained as a result of events clearly beyond their control.

The various categories of Contingency Insurance are:

  • Event Cancellation Insurance

  • Non-Appearance Insurance

  • Weather related coverages

  • Contractual Bonuses Insurance

  • Death & Disgrace Insurance

  • Prize Indemnity Insurance
