Kidnap & Ransom
Discreet cover for corporations and individuals against the financial consequences of kidnapping, extortion and wrongful detention.
Kidnap & Ransom insurance protects corporations and individuals who suffer financial loss as a result of kidnapping, extortion or wrongful detention. It is a specialised, confidential class of insurance — and one where the response service matters as much as the indemnity.
More than a policy
Alongside reimbursement of ransom and associated losses, cover typically includes immediate access to professional crisis consultants who manage negotiation, family liaison and safe resolution. Legal liability, medical care, rehabilitation and travel costs arising from an incident are also addressed.
Westwood arranges this cover through insurers with proven international response networks, and handles every enquiry with strict confidentiality.
