What is Personal Accident Cover?
Personal Accident (PA) cover pays a lump sum if an accident causes death or disability, and can pay a weekly income during recovery from a temporary disability. It's inexpensive and pays regardless of medical bills.
It complements life and health cover by protecting specifically against accidents.
Example
A PA cover pays out if an accident leaves you unable to work for several weeks.
