Personal Accident Insurance

Personal accident insurance covers the expenses from an accident with a lump sum payment, a daily or monthly amount or a payment for loss of life from an accident. Several types of policies supplement an insurance program. Often, accidental death and dismemberment is an inexpensive form of personal accident insurance.

Personal Accident Insurance

Other forms are similar to disability income, but they pay a cash sum when an injury due to an accident occurs. There are several ways to buy personal accident insurance.

Some policies only pay for specific types of accident.

Cost

Accidental death and dismemberment insurance, one form of accident insurance, is often inexpensive.

The reason behind this is the fact that, it doesn't happen as frequently as death from an illness.
Traveler's accidental death insurance is also inexpensive for the same reason.
PRESENTATION BY RAMA CHANDRA

Cost

Lump sum payments from an injury, not at work, that seeks medical attention and miss work, costs more since there's a higher likelihood of that occurring. The Policies, which includes Accidental Death, Disability and the Medical expenses being given at the time of Hospitalization, due to Accident will be expensive. The Disabilities include Permanent Partial and Permanent Total Disabilities.

Payments

Accident Insurance doesn't pay for extended periods in the way disability does. It offers lump sum payments for the loss of a limb. Often accident insurance pays in percentage with the death receiving 100percent payment, loss of both eyes or combination of one hand and foot or sight in one eye.

Payments

There are specific percentages for other losses. For instance, you must lose a thumb and index finger on the same hand in order to get 25 percent of the policy face value.

Some policies increase payment if you had a seat belt on at the time of injury.

Coverage

Accident insurance for those in the later years is almost impossible to get. As people age, their bones become more brittle and a minor fall might cause death to someone older.

In India, the coverage of Accidental Insurance Policies are restricted, mostly, to the Age of 70 years.

Aviation Insurance

Aviation Insurance was first introduced in the early years of the 20th Century. The first aviation insurance policy was written by Lloyd's of London in 1911. The company stopped writing aviation policies in 1912 after bad weather and the resulting crashes at an air meet caused losses on many of those first policies. The first aviation policies were underwritten by the marine insurance underwriting community. The first specialist aviation insurers emerged in 1924.

In-flight insurance

In-flight is from the time that the aircraft begins its take-off roll to when it has completed its landing roll. In-flight coverage protects an insured aircraft against damage during all phases of flight and ground operation, including while parked or stored. Naturally it is more expensive than non-inmotion coverage since most aircraft are damaged while in motion.
