Are accidents outside of work covered?
Yes, they are. We don't cover injuries caused by or contributed to by some activities and situations, so you should check the wording on your policy. But, in general, you and your employees are covered whether an accident occurs while at work or not.
What level of personal accident cover do I need?
You should think about how your business would cope if you or a key member of staff was injured and unable to work temporarily or permanently. What might this mean for your turnover? The amount of cover you select is the lump sum amount your business would received if an insured employee suffered a serious injury.
Who is covered by personal accident insurance?
Personal accident insurance covers the number of people working in your business including yourself that you selected when we asked you about your business. If you don't want to cover all of your employees, please phone one of our business insurance experts to discuss your requirements.
Who receives payments made under this cover?
All claims payments are made to the insured business, not to an insured employee.
