Quick Answer

Accident insurance pays you a lump sum of cash if you're injured in a covered accident, like a fall, car accident, or sports injury, on top of whatever your health insurance covers. You can use the payout for anything: medical bills, lost income, or everyday costs while you recover. It's typically inexpensive and works alongside your existing health plan rather than replacing it.

None of us can predict when an accident will happen: a fall, a car accident, a sports injury. Accident insurance exists to soften the financial hit when one does.

How it works

If you experience a covered accidental injury, on or off the job, accident insurance pays a cash benefit directly to you, separate from and in addition to any health insurance you already have.

What people typically use the benefit for

  • Emergency room and urgent care copays
  • Ambulance fees
  • Follow-up visits, physical therapy, or specialist care
  • Everyday bills while you're out of work recovering

Who it makes the most sense for

Active families, weekend athletes, anyone with a physically demanding job, or simply anyone who wants a financial cushion for the unexpected. Accidents don't check your budget before they happen.
