Boston Attacks Mark Major Shift in Who's Buying Terror Insurance

A shopper walks inside the Marathon Sports location at the Boston Marathon finish line on Boylston Street in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S., on Friday, April 4, 2014. In 2013, a bomb exploded outside the store during the Marathon, shattering the window and injuring dozens and killing three. For some of those in Boston who had purchased terrorism insurance coverage before the Marathon bombings, seeking reimbursement was an exercise in confusion. One hundred and sixty companies near the explosions submitted claims for property damage or business losses. Just 14 percent had coverage for terrorism, according to the states insurance regulator.
