Travel Accident Insurance (Accident Only)

Travel Accident Insurance, also known as Accident Only insurance, is a type of insurance policy that provides coverage for accidental death or dismemberment that occurs while traveling. This insurance typically covers events such as airplane crashes, car accidents, or other accidents that occur while traveling for business or pleasure.

Key features of Travel Accident Insurance include:

• Coverage for accidental death or dismemberment: The policy provides a lump-sum payment in the event of accidental death or loss of limbs, eyesight, or hearing.

• Worldwide coverage: The policy provides coverage worldwide, regardless of the destination.

• Limited coverage: The coverage provided by a travel accident insurance policy is usually limited to the specific time period of the travel and may not cover other types of medical expenses.

• Affordable premiums: Travel accident insurance is typically less expensive than other types of travel insurance, as it covers a more limited range of risks.

Example: John is planning a trip overseas for a conference. He purchases a travel accident insurance policy before he leaves, which provides coverage for accidental death or dismemberment that occurs while traveling. During his trip, John is involved in a car accident and loses his leg. His travel accident insurance policy provides him with a lump-sum payment to help cover the costs of medical expenses and his loss of income.
