Accident Only Income Protection

Get your client paid a regular benefit if they can’t work due to an accident

0333 014 6296

What is Accident Only Income Protection?

If your client can't work due to an accident and suffers a loss of earnings as a result, our Accident Only Income Protection will pay them a benefit while they get on the road to recovery.

Whilst full Income Protection will cover for sickness as well, our unique Accident Only Income Protection covers your client just for accidents. This often makes it a more affordable option or can be a solution for people struggling to get cover elsewhere.

Help cover the costs your client might face as a result of a bone fracture

A cash payout can’t heal them – they'll need time for that. But it can help them meet the costs associated with the impact of their injury. 

The payout they’ll receive will be determined by which category fracture they've suffered.

Your client can claim for a range of fractures classified as Mild, Moderate or Major. The cover areas from their skull down to their feet and range from £1,000 to £3,000.
