Insurer Excludes Ebola Claims for Some General Liability Policies

Ace USA confirmed Tuesday that it will exclude coverage for Ebola claims under new and renewal general liability polices issued to companies that have exposures to certain African countries. Ace is “selectively using a policy endorsement to exclude Ebola on a case-by-case basis for insureds that have foreign travel exposure to certain African countries with potentially higher risk exposure,” the insurer said in a statement. “The endorsement is being applied during the underwriting process only on new and renewal policies based on information about each company’s travel to and operations in select territories.”
