Personal Accident Insurance

Financial protection against accidental death, permanent disability and loss of income following an accident.

Overview

Accidents happen without warning, and the financial impact often falls hardest on the households least able to absorb it.

Our Personal and Group Accident Insurance provides cover against accidental death, permanent or partial disability, and temporary loss of income — with optional reimbursement of medical treatment costs.
