Kidnap & Ransom Insurance

Kidnap and Ransom insurance helps protect from the financial consequences and unforeseen expenses associated with kidnapping, extortion, or illegal imprisonment.

Alternatively, affluent or well-known individuals at risk of being abducted for ransom may get this insurance for themselves and their families. A kidnapping insurance coverage usually pays the ransom and compensates the insured for any expenditures incurred.

Kidnap & Ransom coverage in Texas is mostly purchased by the individuals who frequently travel in and out of Mexico, across the U.S./Mexico border.

Event or Wedding Insurance

When arranging a wedding, the last thing you want to worry about is a catastrophe on the big day. You can buy a special event insurance policy that protects you against liability if something goes wrong on your wedding day.

Event or wedding insurance is beneficial if the event is canceled or postponed for some reasons, such as;

• The majority of guests are unable to attend due to inclement weather
• A sickness that affects the spouse or members of their immediate family
• The summoning of the groom or bride for military service
• The function had to be rescheduled due to a power failure at the banquet facility.
