Financial protection to the insured members against uncertainties such as accidental death, accidental bodily injuries, and partial/total disabilities, permanent as well as temporary disabilities resulting from an accident.In the case of accidental death of the policyholder, the nominee gets 100% compensation from the insurer. There are various other compensations that are offered for accidental disability such as loss of eyes, limbs, and speech.
An accident does not come knocking at the door. It can happen anytime, anywhere and may result in minor to serious injuries. Any such uncertainty may lead to financial crisis, and that is why it is recommended to buy a Accidental Insurance policy. It will provide the necessary financial assistance to you and your family against accidental death, bodily injuries and disabilities (Partial/ Permanent/Temporary). There are various other rider benefits such as accidental hospitalization cover, Hospital Confinement Allowance, and Medical Expense Cover.
An accident can be both emotionally and financially devastating for the dependent family members. In case of fatal injuries, the entire sum assured is paid to the nominee as mentioned in the policy document.
In case an accident results in permanent disabilities or lifelong total impairment such as loss of both the limbs, then a specified sum insured amount is paid to the policyholder.
If bodily injuries, resulting in permanent partial disabilities, then a certain percentage (up to 100%) of the benefit is paid to the insured.
In case the insured meets with temporary total disabilities and is bedridden, then the insurer will provide a weekly allowance to recompense the loss of income. The insured can also utilize this claim amount to pay the EMIs, in case there is a loss of earnings.
