Personal Accident Insurance

Many people fail to have contingencies in place should their personal income cease due to an accident. Personal Accident cover can relieve this burden for you and your nominated staff.

WHAT IS COVERED BY PERSONAL ACCIDENT INSURANCE?

Personal accident insurance will cover you (and your nominated staff, including freelancers if you choose to increase the cover) for accidental bodily injury. It will also offer weekly payments for both total and partial disablement, along with lump sum payments for death, loss of sight and/or hearing and also loss of limbs.

Our Personal Accident policy is worldwide and is operative 24 hour. This means that the accident which leads to the injury does not have to occur during work hours and can occur all over the globe (excluding anywhere the Foreign and Commonwealth Office advises against travel to). This also stretches to cover some sporting actives including water sports and skiing.
