Kidnap and Ransom

Keeping what matters close.

It’s an unfortunate fact that no one is immune to a kidnapping or extortion threat.

A lack of proper coverage at a critical time can result in untold agony and emotional devastation, coupled with the potential for a significant financial loss.

Factors supporting the need for Personal Kidnap Ransom and Extortion Insurance include:

Anyone, whether traveling internationally or domestically, may be targeted for kidnapping or extortion.
A kidnapping or extortion threat may result in a life-shattering impact on families and loved ones, not to mention severe financial losses.

Almost nothing can prepare you or a loved one to negotiate with kidnappers or extortionists. However, professional assistance before, during, and after a kidnapping or extortion threat can result in a safe and successful outcome.
