Our View
Increasing accident cases have made it truly necessary to have a personal accident cover to help family members sustain financial losses in the unfortunate event of death or disability of insured member. Though it covers accidental death and accidental permanent disablement, a comprehensive personal accident policy is always preferred which extends to include temporary disablement and other incidental expenses such as ambulance cost along with the conditions covered herein.
