Protection When It Matters Most
While traveling on business, you are awakened by a noise in your hotel
suite. You go to inspect the sound and stumble upon a burglar. Unfortunately,
you're blocking the intruder's way to the door. He attacks.
You take your nephew to a busy public park. You sit down on a park bench
and become engrossed in a novel. A few pages later, you look up to check
on your nephew. To your horror, he's gone.
It's the holiday season, and you finally locate a parking spot secluded
on the upper deck of your local shopping center's parking garage. When
you park the car, someone forces the door open, jumps in the front seat,
and demands that you drive to the nearest ATM.
Perhaps you parted ways with an abusive spouse. To protect yourself and
your family, you obtain a restraining order. But your ex-spouse proceeds
to stalk you.
Crimes like these punctuate nightly newscasts and highlight the pages
of newspapers, magazines and web sites every day. The fact is that over
1.2 million cases of forcible and/or unlawful entry of residences occurred
in 2006.1 Each year as many as 58,000 children are victims
of stranger/non-family abductions.2 Data indicates that nearly
35,000 car jackings occur annually,3 and roughly 1.4 million
people in the United States are stalked each year.4
Despite these troubling statistics, it's still hard to accept that these
things could happen to you.
If a home invasion, child abduction, car jacking or stalking threat should
affect you, Chubb can help. Masterpiece Family Protection from
Chubb helps cover your costs if you or someone close to you is a victim
