Personal Accident Insurance Cover
Personal accident cover provides a financial safety net if you're involved in a serious accident that results in death or permanent disability. This cover helps you and your loved ones cope with unexpected financial burdens.
What’s Included in Personal Accident Insurance?
- Accidental death benefit: A lump sum paid to your beneficiaries in the event of a fatal accident.
- Permanent disability benefit: Compensation if you are left permanently disabled and unable to earn.
- Partial disability support: A payout proportionate to the level of impairment.
How Payouts Are Calculated
Payouts depend on the severity of the injury. Policies use a percentage schedule—100% for complete limb loss or full disability, and smaller percentages for partial impairments such as losing a thumb or toe.
Additional Benefits to Consider
- Hospital cash payout: A daily allowance if you're hospitalised due to an accident.
- Rehabilitation cover: Helps with therapy and recovery-related costs.
- Dependent cover: Optional benefits that include your spouse or children.
Choosing the Right Personal Accident Policy
- Compare benefit amounts for death and disability
- Review exclusions like self-inflicted harm or illegal activities
- Look for optional add-ons to suit your lifestyle
