Personal Accident Cover is designed to help support you financially if you were to sustain an injury as a result of an accident anywhere in the world.
The financial support from Personal Accident Cover is a cash sum paid out to you or your family if you are injured in an accident. The amount paid out is related to how severe the injury is, from minor injuries such as fractures up to fatality and long standing disabilities, Personal Accident Cover is there to help you.
For a lot of our van insurance customers, an injury and time spent in hospital would have an impact on their income. This is why our cover compensates you if you have to stay in hospital or go for outpatient care. Another benefit to Personal Accident Cover is that the cash sum paid is not linked to a legal case proceeding that might be going ahead if you are pursuing damages relating to the accident. The cash benefits are paid based on your injury, not a legal verdict
