TRAUMA INSURANCE

Are you prepared financially for serious illness? Recovery from cancer, heart attack or stroke can have a huge impact. Trauma cover can help you get back on your feet without financial stress.

WHAT IS IT?

Trauma Insurance pays a lump sum if you suffer one of a number of specified critical conditions or injuries, irrespective of your ability to work or not.

The range covered differs across insurers, including neurological conditions, loss of limbs and severe diabetes, however most claims come from cancer and heart-related illness.

Some products (e.g. Progressive Care) can provide multiple payments linked to the severity of the illness or injury, with more severe conditions receiving a larger payment.
