HARTFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV) today revealed the most common wedding insurance claims from 2021, with vendor-related issues topping the list at almost one-third (29%) of paid claims.

“Knowing the wedding day issues that come up most frequently can help families avoid costly disruptions,” said Todd Shasha, Senior Managing Director of Personal Insurance at Travelers. “It’s important for couples to do their research when planning for such a significant event, particularly when it comes to choosing locations, dates and vendors. Wedding insurance can also help protect against some of the most common mishaps.”

Beyond vendor issues, other common claims included:

  • Property damage (19%).
  • Illness or injury (18%).
  • Severe weather (6%).
  • Military deployment (6%).

The Travelers Wedding Protector Plan provides coverage, with no deductible, for these common issues and a variety of other unfortunate occurrences.
