Personal Accident Insurance for Individual and Family
Personal Accident Insurance
Accidents are always unpredictable, and the same is true of their outcomes. Therefore, purchasing personal accident insurance can help to reduce the financial burden associated with such terrible occurrences. This insurance provides defense against unintentional death and disability.
What is Personal Accident Insurance?
Personal accident insurance provides financial security not only for unfavorable outcomes following accidents but also for lost wages as a result of the accident. This insurance covers any unpleasant occurrences brought on by collisions, fires, explosions, and other mishaps on roads, trains, and in the air. If you sustain a disability as a result of the accident that prohibits you from working, the insurance also provides financial compensation. As a result, the insurance also provides a monthly income to support your way of life.
Additionally, a rider for life insurance may include this insurance. The policyholder will not, however, be able to take advantage of all the advantages offered by a standalone insurance in such a circumstance.
Types of Personal Accident Insurance
Individual personal accident insurance and group personal accident insurance are the two main categories of personal accident insurance.
- Individual Personal Accident Insurance: The first form of insurance is designed for individuals and provides more coverage than group insurance. It includes not just accidental fatality but also temporary and permanent disability.
- Group Personal Accident Insurance: Employers offer their employees this type of insurance. Such plans provide only the most fundamental insurance protection; they are exempt from the standalone policy's benefits.
