Accident Insurance

Main Features

• Most of accident insurance products sold individually include the following coverage:
  • Accidental fracture,
  • Dismemberment or loss of use (e.g., one or two hands, paralysis, etc.)
  • Accidental death,
  • Disability benefits.
• Some of these types of policy can also be combined with other life and health insurance products.
• Benefits include two components:
  • A lump sum that can vary depending on whether the claim is for accidental death, fracture, dismemberment, or loss of use.
  • The reimbursement of costs up to a certain limit if the insured person incurs certain expenses following an accident, such as hospital, paramedical, dental, or ambulance fees.

Major advantages

• With lump sum payouts, insured persons can meet often sizable expenses, such as the cost of making their homes wheelchair accessible if an accident causes them to be paraplegic.
• Accident insurance is a valuable addition to provincial health insurance plans, or even to a group insurance plan offered by an employer.
• Considering the levels of coverage available and its affordability, this type of coverage is a great way to round out an insurance portfolio.
