Accidents are unforeseen and inevitable. Such mishaps take only a few seconds to turn life upside down. Moreover, the impact of such mishaps is felt more on the emotional as well as financial grounds. It can even drain an individual’s lifetime savings, leaving his/her family in a difficult situation without resources or help. Hence, securing family’s future and enabling their basic day-to-day needs in the absence of the breadwinner becomes utmost priority.

Personal Accident Insurance protects families from the financial concerns such as loss of income and medical expenses that unforeseen accidents lead to. The policy covers an individual against death, physical injuries and bodily burns.

A Term Plan only helps in the event of death and a Health Plan helps in case one is hospitalized.Some of these policies also offer Accidental Benefit riders, but these riders are not as comprehensive as a standalone Personal Accident Insurance policy. We all in our day-to-day life are exposed to the risks of accidents. Despite all possible precautions, accidents do occur. More often, they occur due to other people’s mistakes over which we have no control! And interestingly, even in today’s uncertain world, chances of death or getting hospitalized for some illness are far lower than the chances of meeting with an accident! A standalone Personal Accident policy covers one for such possibilities at nominal premium rates compared to a life insurance policy.
