Acumen Insurance has launched a product to cover losses resulting from road rage incidents and muggings.

The policy, called Body Guard will cover loss of personal possessions or injuries, said Acumen.

According to a report, policyholders who are permanently injured can receive a one-off pay-out of up to £25,000 in return for annual premiums starting at £16.99.

The company claimed the level of cover offered was approximately ten times greater than that included under standard home and motor policies, said the report.

Acumen Insurance director Kevin Kenny said the product had been developed in response to the growing number of mugging and road rage incidents.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
