• Personal accident insurance is one of the popular classes of accident insurance and as a supplement to life insurance; it provides an ideal protection against death or disability

• Due to rapid industrialization, and more and more use of complex machinery, industrial accidents are more frequent. To cater to the varying and increasing needs, different forms of cover are available. Individuals are granted this cover under an individual personal accident insurance policy. For a group of individuals, the insurance companies have devised group personal accident insurance policies.

Types of Policy

Types of policy

• There are different types of personal accident insurance policy on the basis of payment of claim, coverage, premium rate. There are as followsSimple personal accident policies only pay a cash

sum following an accident where you are injuredSimple income protection policies pay when you are

off work following an accidentWhere they merge is when an income protection

policy also includes illness, and a personal accident policy includes sickness and/ or pays monthly benefits rather than a cash sum.

We regard policies which cover an accident and sickness/ illness by paying a cash sum as Personal Accident

We regard policies which cover accident and illness by paying a monthly benefit as Income Protection.

Insurers themselves often confuse you by using vague product names like “Protection " which can include income protection, critical illness, life, personal accident and other products. - or a flashy name which gives no indication of what it covers.

 

• There are three main ways to partially or wholly protect you against the costs of long term care.

• On some products, you only get money if you qualify as needing care.

• On some products, you get money anyway, but there is some help in arranging care if needed.

• On investment and Equity Release products, you choose whether or not to use the proceeds on care.

Limitation And Conclusion

Limitations of Personal Accident:

• Life insurance covers the risk of death; health insurance covers the risk of sickness ; where as personal accident insurance covers the risk associated with accidents. If the life assured is seriously  injured in an accident and disabled either temporarily or permanently, he/she will not able to work and earn. To minimize the financial hardship of the life assured and his/her family members, the personal accident insurance provides the financial support. So personal accident insurance is very essential and Life insurance cover without  personal accident cover is inadequate from risk management point of view.

• The personal accident policy provides compensation in event of insured sustaining injuries solely and  directly from an accident cause by violence, visible and external means, resulting in to death or  disablement be it temporary or permanent.

• These exclusions and limitation depend on insurance company and some common things are:

• These are some common exclusion and limitations, this information may help you to take the decision in choosing the insurance policy.

What benefits should I expect?

• A simple personal accident policy pays a set cash sum on death.• On other benefits, there may be a cash sum, a monthly income or a

mixture of the two. Monthly income is limited to a set number of months.

• Most also include a cash sum for Total Permanent Disablement.  This is where you are not going to get better.

• Then there are frequently specific items where you get payment for injuries which result in

• Total loss of speech, hearing or sight• Total loss of or use of a hand or foot• Less frequent are specific higher benefits for catastrophes which

result in quadriplegia or paraplegia.•
