Personal Accident Cover

Personal Accident Cover

 Personal accident cover is an insurance policy that provides a lump-sum cash payment or weekly benefits in the event of injury, disability, or death caused solely by an accident, rather than by illness or natural causes. This coverage helps to provide financial security for you and your family to manage expenses, pay off liabilities, and cover lost income during recovery

Key Coverage Benefits
  • Accidental Death: A lump sum is paid to the designated beneficiary if the insured person dies as a direct result of an accident.
  • Permanent Total Disability (PTD): Provides a lump sum payment if an accident results in a permanent total disability that prevents the insured from working in any gainful occupation.
  • Permanent Partial Disability (PPD): A percentage of the sum assured is paid out based on the severity of the injury (e.g., loss of a limb, sight, or hearing).
  • Temporary Total Disability (TTD): Offers a weekly or monthly benefit (loss of income compensation) if the insured is temporarily unable to work due to accident-related injuries.
  • Medical Expense Reimbursement: Covers the costs incurred for hospital treatment, surgeries, medications, and other necessary medical care resulting from an accident, up to a specified limit.
  • Additional Benefits: May cover expenses for artificial appliances (like crutches), ambulance costs (including air ambulance), funeral expenses, and a child education benefit in the event of the insured’s death or PTD. 
Common Exclusions
  • Injuries or death due to illness or disease.
  • Self-inflicted injuries or suicide attempts.
  • Injuries sustained while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • Injuries from participation in hazardous sports (e.g., bungee jumping, mountaineering) or criminal activities.
  • Accidents caused by war, invasion, or political violence
