Personal accident cover insurance

Accidents tend to happen unexpectedly, and the aftermath isn’t always something that’s easy to recover from. Some accidents are easy to recover from, but others are more serious, and end up placing a huge amount of pressure on you and your family. This is especially true if an injury resulting from the accident stops you working or leads to serious, long-term consequences. Though there’s no way to avoid accidents altogether, regardless of how careful and cautious you are, personal accident cover does help you to weather the storm. By offering financial protection following an accidental injury or death, given in the form of a lump sum payment, personal accident covers help you to cope during a difficult time.

At Everest Mortgages, we help you to feel reassured following a personal accident by helping you to find the ideal cover for you. There are a lot of personal accident policies out there, but we’ll narrow down your options and steer you in the right direction.

What is personal accident cover?

Personal accident cover is designed to provide a cash payout, to you or your family, if you’re seriously injured in an accident. It’s often offered as an added extra with car insurance, but cover can also be taken out as a standalone policy. Unlike other types of insurance that rely on proving who was at fault, personal accident cover pays out regardless of who caused the incident. It acts as a financial buffer, helping you or your loved ones to manage the impact of life changing injuries stemming from an accident.

What does personal accident cover include?

The exact level of protection varies by insurer, and you have the freedom to choose protection that aligns with your budget. But, most personal accident policies tend to cover:

Serious and Permanent Injuries

You may receive a lump sum payment if an accident leads to permanent loss of sight, permanent hearing loss, loss of one or more limbs and other defined, irreversible injuries.
This money can help with household bills, adaptations to your home, mobility aids or ongoing care.

Fatal Accidents

If you were to lose your life due to a car accident, the policy would pay a lump sum to your family or chosen beneficiary. This can help cover things like funeral expenses and living costs.

Minor Injury Support

Not all insurers include minor injuries in personal accident cover, but some do. This gives you access to short-term support services, such as physiotherapy, assessments or rehabilitation, helping you to recover more quickly after a non-serious injury.
