Chubb has added cyber bullying coverage to its U.S. masterpiece family protection policy to help cover clients and their families from the expenses associated with a cyber bullying incident.

“Technology has radically altered our everyday life, from how we consume information, conduct business, and interact with one another,” said Christie Alderman, the vice president of client product and service for Chubb personal risk services. “But technology's biggest benefit—an interconnected world—can also be its biggest challenge. Cyber bullying, including online threats and harassment, can damage your or your child's reputation, and cause financial loss and emotional harm. Chubb's new policy helps victims reclaim their lives.”

Cyber bullying coverage provides up to $60,000 in compensation to clients and family members for expenses related to harassment and intimidation committed via personal computers, telephones, or mobile devices. Clients may recover costs incurred when cyber bullying results in wrongful termination, false arrest, wrongful discipline in an educational institution, or diagnosed debilitating shock, mental anguish, or mental injury leading to the inability of the client or a family member to attend school or work for more than a week. The coverage provides compensation for psychiatric services, rest and recuperation expenses, lost salary, temporary relocation services, education expenses, professional public relations services, and cyber security consultants, the company said in a statement.
