Personal Accident

Included |
Included |
If an accident results in Permanent Disablement or death the financial consequences can be enormous – quite apart from the emotional distress. Even less serious injuries can result in a lengthy period or confinement to the house. While you may be able to cope in the short term, a longer period of disability can put severe pressure on family finances.
Lump sum cash payments (shown below) when they are needed most could ease the financial burden. Contributors and their partner and dependant children are covered 24 hours a day, every day, whether at work, home or play.
A proportion of this sum will be paid depending upon the degrees of Permanent Disablement in accordance with the following scale.
For Insured Persons under 16 and those aged 66 to 75, the benefits payable shall be reduced by 50%. For insured persons aged 76 and over the benefit payable shall be reduced by 75% and Permanent Total Disablement Benefit shall not apply.
The Personal Accident Benefits are underwritten on behalf of the HSF health plan by Chubb Insurance Company of Europe S.A. one of the world's leading personal accident underwriters. See the rules for full details. |
