Insurance companies pledge to pay out for UK riot damage | Money | guardian.co.uk

Insurers have said they will pay out to customers who have had possessions damaged and stolen in the riots in London and across the rest of the country.

Some policyholders had been concerned that they wouldn't qualify for a payout because the losses were a result of civil unrest, but insurers said this wasn't a problem.


Keith Lewis, a spokesman for insurer Zurich, said: "As a customer it doesn't matter what is happening – the issue of whether it is classed as rioting or civil unrest rises when we as insurers are trying to reclaim costs. It is a back-office issue."
