Around the world, an estimated 24.9 million people are victims of sex and labor trafficking.  Human trafficking is a long-standing, worldwide problem and one that increasingly has insurance implications for certain US industries. These industries include most visibly hotels and motels, as well as businesses that engage with foreign supply chains. Many of these insurance implications grow out of the impact of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA), which allows civil lawsuits against entities that benefit from human trafficking enterprises even if they have not engaged in trafficking themselves. What is the impact of the TVPA’s civil liability provisions on general liability insurers and insureds?
