Personal Accident & Sickness
If you are unable to work due to accident or sickness, the bills will still need to be paid. If you have children to look after or loans to repay, the financial impact of being unable to work could be significant. Savings could be used up relatively quickly once your everyday expenditure has been covered, so planning for this is extremely important.
Most Personal Accident and Sickness policies pay if there is loss of income due to an accident or sickness. There will usually be a deferment period before a claim can be made.
We have a range of products to suit your requirements and access to a panel of leading insurance products. The volumes of business we handle enable us to provide competitive premiums without sacrificing policy cover.

Personal Accident & Sickness Cover in detail
Cover can usually be taken out in the following ways:
- Personal accident only
- Personal accident and sickness
Choosing the correct options will depend on your circumstances. We will establish which level is most appropriate when making the recommendations.
Cover typically includes:
- Accidental death
- Loss of one or two limbs
- Loss of one or two eyes
- Permanent total disablement
- Temporary total disablement (per week)
- Temporary partial disablement (per week) sickness benefits
- Total and irrecoverable loss of sight in both eyes
- Permanent total disablement by paralysis
- Temporary total disablement (per week)
Homemakers can be covered – Insurers recognise that although this is not a paid occupation someone else may have to be paid to do some of the jobs normally undertaken by a homemaker.
Physical contact sports or hazardous activities – These are more likely to lead to accidents so insurers may quote additional costs for these activities – they need to know what it is you do.
Limit on cover – Normally insurers will not offer cover for more than your net earned income. This is because the insurance is designed to replace income lost as the result of injury or illness.
