Who Should Have it?

Individuals or families that have an active lifestyle should definitely consider it. Families with small children should have it. If you don’t have an unlimited budget to cover the expenses involved in an unexpected injury, you should find a way to work the premium into your budget.

How Does It Work?

Generally, you purchase this policy and pay your premiums. Upon being injured, you pay any deductible associated with the policy. After that,  the policy will then pick up any treatment expenses not covered by your main health insurance policy. They will also possibly pay your lost wages, deductibles, or co-pays associated with your main policy, or even additional services that some insurance companies offer.

Some policies will also cover death and dismemberment. It’s important when purchasing a policy to ensure that you thoroughly understand exactly what it will cover and how to use the policy when, or if, it becomes necessary.

Accident insurance is something that most people hope they never need. Even so, it’s worth securing to make sure that if or when the time comes that you need it, you’re prepared. After the injury happens, it’s too late to get coverage. Take care of it now so that you’re ready later.
