Cyber Claims

The financial damages of cyber attacks are projected to reach $6 trillion annually by 2021¹ — more than double those same figures from 2015. While the types of cyber attacks are constantly changing, the largest increase in claims has come from phishing and ransomware attacks. Not only is the sheer number of these claims on the rise, but so are the associated costs as cyber criminals are continuously increasing their demands. If your organization is Chubb insured with a Cyber Risk Insurance Policy, and has been a victim of a cyber threat or cyber attack, rest assured that the Chubb Cyber Claims Team is here to guide you through the claims process 24/7 — regardless of the type of threat or size of your company.

Transactional Insurance Claims

In today's fast-paced business marketplace, corporate mergers and acquisitions and other deals are being closed at lightning speed. But at what cost? Post-closing disputes can arise in a variety of ways and may include anything from tax issues and licensing to disagreements over physical and intellectual property. That's why it's so important to make sure you're insured not just before and during a deal—but also after it. Chubb provides Representations and Warranties Insurance (RWI), Tax Liability Insurance, and other customized risk transfer solutions to help address post-transactional disputes. Should a claim be filed under your Chubb Transactional Insurance policy, you can rest assured that our team will work diligently toward an equitable resolution.

Public D&O Claims

Directors and officers face a higher level of exposure to securities claims than ever before as litigation against public companies continues to rise year over year. In 2018, 8.8% of publicly traded companies were sued for an alleged securities violation, an increase of 3.2% from 2016. For S&P 500 companies, that number was even higher, at 9.4%. In addition, 85% of M&A deals over $100M were challenged with a merger objection lawsuit in 2018¹. As a public company, your exposure is greater than ever. With Chubb’s extensive expertise in handling (D&O) claims, we can help Chubb D&O insureds navigate the claims process efficiently.
