Individual Personal Accident/Group Personal Accident/Workers Compensation

These policies indemnify the insured person(s) for death, permanent disability, temporary total disablement or medical expenses where insured following an accident causing bodily injury solely by violent accidental and visible means.
The personal accident policy is individualistic in nature, whereas the group personal accident is generalistic or within the group. The personal accident policy is always taken out by a single individual while the group is issued to at least two persons, members of a social club, members of the same family or employees in a common employment.

Scope of Cover

Provided death occurs within twelve months from the date of accident. The benefit payable may be a specified capital sum or multiples of wages.
