What Is Accident Insurance?
Accident insurance pays cash benefits directly to you when you're injured in an accident β regardless of other insurance. It covers hospital stays, fractures, dislocations, ER visits, ambulance, physical therapy, and more. The money goes to you, not the hospital. Use it for copays, deductibles, rent, groceries β whatever you need while recovering.
π¨
Hospital & ICU Benefits
If an accident puts you in the hospital, you receive $300-$500 per day for inpatient stays and $600-$1,000 per day for ICU β paid for up to 15 days per ICU confinement. These benefits are paid in addition to what health insurance covers. Even a 3-day hospital stay generates $900-$1,500 in cash benefits.

The Injury Benefit Schedule
Every covered injury has a specific dollar amount. Hip fracture: $2,400-$4,800. Knee dislocation: $1,500-$3,000. Burns over 36 sq inches: $5,000-$10,000. The schedule covers fractures (16 types), dislocations (9 types), lacerations, concussions, coma, and even emergency dental. No guesswork β you know exactly what you'll receive.

AD&D: Accidental Death & Dismemberment
Built into every policy: $50,000-$150,000 for accidental death (adult), with enhanced benefits for common carrier accidents (planes, trains) up to double. Dismemberment benefits cover loss of limbs, sight, hearing, and speech. Children covered at 25% of adult benefit. This is real financial protection beyond just injury coverage.
πΌ
Optional Disability Income
Add a disability income rider for $500-$2,000/month if a covered accident prevents you from working. Off-the-job accidents and 24-hour short-term disability available for up to 12 months. Requires 27.5+ hours/week employment. This turns accident insurance into true income protection β not just medical gap coverage.
