All About Kidnap and Ransom Insurance

by Randy Hulett

Does your business cause your employees to travel to foreign countries? If so, and these countries include Mexico and places in the Middle East, you should consider purchasing a kidnap and ransom insurance policy to best protect your employees. This type of insurance is used to reimburse companies for possible ransom payments if an employee were to be kidnapped, hijacked, or fall victim to a terrorist attack while abroad. Elite Insurance Solutions would like to answer some questions about kidnap and ransom insurance that we have been frequently asked to help you understand exactly what this policy entails and if you should purchase this type of coverage for your employees.

What exactly does kidnap and ransom insurance cover?

This type of insurance coverage addresses the exposure and liability of a company if an employee is kidnapped. Kidnap and ransom insurance also typically covers losses due to extortion (including cyberextortion) and terrorism. Not only is the company reimbursed for the ransom under this policy, but this insurance can also cover the costs of a professional crisis management team and a negotiator to resolve the incident, a public relations team to protect the image of the company, any damage to property, payments of reward for information that leads to resolution, travel expenses, and more. The kidnapping victim can also receive coverage for dental, medical, cosmetic, psychiatric, and rehabilitation care, loss of income, child care, personal financial loss, and, in the worst case scenario, funeral expenses.

Why would a kidnap and ransom insurance policy be beneficial for my business?

According to the article “Firms Snatch Up Kidnap and Ransom Insurance “ from Bankrate, one of the best reasons for a smaller business to have this type of insurance coverage is that is can be a cost-effective way to add a security force to the company. The product manager for crime insurance products at Travelers Insurance says, “A large company will very likely have a security arm or in-house security staff, whether to simply guard the building or advise executives on security matters, where a lot of smaller companies don’t have access to these resources. All major K&R (kidnap and ransom) insurers have associations with a crisis response firm that will provide guidance and assistance to their customers, to review security and travel protocols. It puts the emphasis on prevention rather than insurance. If your business has no security staff or advisors and requires travel to hot spots around the world, kidnap and ransom insurance is extremely worth it for your company and your employees.
