Swett & Crawford has introduced Hospital Threat and Abduction Coverage.

Coverage is available for abduction of an infant or child; threats of violence against staff, management or volunteers; threats of damage to the facility's property; a range of extortion threats, including those to reveal proprietary data, kill or injure patients or personnel, damage property, contaminate medical supplies or disrupt computer operations; hijacking of ambulances or other vehicles; unlawful detention of patients or staff; and kidnap for ransom of directors, officers, employees or patients.

Covered losses may include legal liability, loss of revenue, fees and expenses of control risks (professional security consultants deployed worldwide within 24 hours), costs of additional security, ransom payments, and death or dismemberment benefits. Additional expenses that may be covered include costs of travel and accommodations, medical and psychiatric care, reward monies, legal counsel, salaries of victims, cost of replacement personnel, rest and rehabilitation, and interest on loans raised to meet demands.
