Satellite insurance is a fairly big industry. The owner of the satellite being launched is responsible for getting said insurance against the satellite. This can cover anomalies during launch [1] or anomalies on orbit where the satellite is lost or can no longer perform its mission [2]. Pretty much all commercial companies will have insurance on their satellites, government satellites are typically "self-insured".
