Who hasn’t had an accident or been hospitalised due to illness.
Accident insurance protects you from these situations. This type of insurance is very common among the self-employed who are looking to supplement their time off work. However, personal accident insurance is more than just insurance for the self-employed, as it can cover and supplement the income of any worker, whether self-employed or employed.
Why take out accident insurance?
For coverage: It includes a range of services that adapt to all people, regardless of their age. It is a very ‘usable’ insurance.
For protection: With a small investment, we can ensure that a sick leave will not affect our family’s financial situation, allowing us to maintain our standard of living.
Price: Accident insurance is cheaper than life insurance if we take into account the amount of extra coverage it offers.
In some cases, it may be the only option, as it can be taken out for people who, due to their age or characteristics, would be excluded from similar insurance policies.
What does accident insurance cover?
As a general rule, an accident insurance policy provides compensation in the event of death or permanent disability, as well as a daily compensation for temporary disability. This can be supplemented by compensation for a hospital stay.
Apart from these basic covers, a good accident insurance policy can be complemented with travel assistance guarantees, benefits for illness or hospitalisation after illness, medical assistance, etc.
These are insurances that in general cover the damages caused by an illness or an accident in the insured person and some extra coverage such as assistance, compensating with a capital sum or with a daily payment.
