When life takes an unexpected turn, Accident Insurance can help you pay for the expenses not covered by your medical insurance if you have a covered injury and need treatment.
Even with good insurance, accidents can bring significant expenses
Injuries can set back your finances in a big way, and they’re more common than you might think. Every 10 minutes, over 750 Americans suffer an injury severe enough to seek medical help.1 Unexpected injuries can bring out-of-pocket fees that you’re not prepared to pay.

- Initial care and surgery
- Urgent care and emergency room visits
- Ambulance and other transportation to the hospital
- Hospital stays and lodging expenses related to the accident
- Follow-up care, such as doctor’s office visits and physical therapy appointments
- A set amount is payable directly to you based on the type of injury and required treatment

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his arm and tore his knee cartilage. Jill ran to his rescue and called 911. The ambulance transported Jack to the hospital, and he was admitted to the emergency room and eventually spent one night at the hospital. Jack was treated by a physician for torn knee cartilage, and his knee was repaired the following week. Jack had to receive 10 sessions of physical therapy. He visited his physician and is doing well. Jill incurred no injuries.
Jack received a total of $2,200 to help cover his out-of-pocket expenses giving him peace of mind.
