What is Personal Accident Insurance?

Personal Accident Insurance is an individual insurance plan that you can purchase in addition to your current insurance.

When it comes to accidents, the only thing we can plan for is having some of our out-of-pocket expenses covered.

Is Personal Accident Insurance Worth It?

Most people think of cars when the topic of accidents comes up, and in fact, over 2.5 million people were injured due to car accidents in 2017¹. However, car accidents are only a piece of the larger conversation.

In 2018, there were 2.8 million recorded cases of nonfatal occupational injury and illness, ranging from fractures to burns to carpal tunnel. A person could miss anywhere from 3 to 48 days of work, depending on the nature and severity of the injury or illness. ²

For most people, the cost of even 1 missed day is too much.
