On September 17, 2016, a bomb was detonated in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City.
What you need to know about your policy:
As of September 19, the U.S. Department of State has not officially deemed the incident an act of terrorism, meaning there is no coverage for losses related to the attacks for current Tin Leg policyholders.
If the New York City bombing is named a terrorist event, and meets Tin Leg’s definition of “terrorism” (below), there may be coverage for Tin Leg customers to cancel or interrupt their trip. In order to be eligible for these benefits, a Tin Leg policy must have been purchased prior to September 17.
