[Personal Accident Insurance]
Making sure you are prepared for life's unexpected turns
Let’s face it. No matter how cautious you are and how many precautions you take, accidents will happen… Anytime and anywhere! God willing they are small, but sometimes they can be quite tragic resulting in disablement, loss of limbs or even death. Oriental Insurance offers Personal Accident Insurance for just such events as it covers the policyholder against death or disability due to an accident.
You should consider a Personal Accident Policy because it plugs an important hole in your insurance portfolio. Firstly, it will provide financial support to the policyholder if he is disabled after an accident. Secondly, the magnitude of the mishap doesn’t matter; even minor ones like falling off a bicycle and breaking an arm, or fracturing a leg while playing football are covered by the policy.
There are also some additional benefits available without payment of additional premium like such as reimbursement of expenses for the repatriation of the dead body.
