Trauma Insurance

Trauma insurance is available as a ‘linked’ benefit on Life insurance or as a stand-alone policy.  A trauma insurance payment is likely to be paid should you suffer any of the covered conditions.

This could include, but is not limited to: heart attack, stroke, cancer, paraplegia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and chronic liver, lung and kidney diseases.  The lump sum could be used to cover debt reduction/elimination and to cover costs related to making lifestyle adjustments, necessary home and/or car modifications, medical treatment costs, work alterations and peace of mind.
