Limits on what we pay
The most we will pay in claims, under this Transit
Accident Insurance policy, that results rom theone incident (eg. a bus crash) is A$1,300,000regardless o the number o persons in theincident.
This means that i as a result o one incident anumber o cardholders, their spouses and/or
dependentchildren were injured, we would payeach on a proportional basis (using the scheduleon page 44) up to a total o A$1,300,000.
For example, i two cardholders, one spouse andone dependentchild lost their lives in the samebus crash, we would calculate the benefts payable
as ollows: Two cardholders - $1,000,000
One spouse - $250,000
One dependent child - $125,000
Total beneft amount: $1,375,000
We take the total aggregate exposure($1,300,000) and divide it by the total beneftamount ($1,375,000) to determine the percentage(94.5%) to proportionally reduce.
