Individual accident insurance

Some things in life are unexpected. If you or a covered family member experience an unexpected accident resulting in a broken bone or severe burn, individual accident insurance can help provide financial support for the expenses that come next.

Both plans include coverage for 25+ injuries and treatments; the total fixed benefit payment amount is dependent on your plan option. And we can help you decide which plan is best for you.

Self-employed: If you miss work while self-employed, you’re often missing out on potential earnings. Individual accident insurance can allow you to pay for things like child care or even groceries while you're recovering from an injury.

Occupations that most benefit from supplemental coverage: There are certain occupations that may put individuals at a higher risk of accident or injury. These include:

  • Electricians, plumbers, and construction workers

  • Auto mechanics, independent contractors, and ride share operators

  • Photographers, painters, and gig workers

Retired: Individual accident insurance can be a great option for retirees who are living more active lives and want to protect themselves in case of an injury or illness.
