Accident Cover
Accident cover pays a tax-free lump sum if you are injured in an accident — helping with recovery costs, adaptations and time off work when you need support most.
Accident cover (personal accident insurance) is designed to pay a tax-free lump sum if you suffer a specified injury in an accident — such as fractures, burns or permanent disability, depending on the policy.
Unlike income protection, which pays a regular monthly benefit while you cannot work, accident cover typically pays once based on the severity of the injury. It can sit alongside life, critical illness or income protection for broader cover.
Because we are whole-of-market, we compare leading insurers on definitions, payout scales and underwriting — so you get cover that fits your lifestyle, job and budget without the jargon.

Income protection pays a regular monthly benefit while you cannot work due to illness or injury. Accident cover usually pays a one-off lump sum for specified accidental injuries, based on a payout scale.
Policies often cover accidents resulting in fractures, burns, hospitalisation or permanent disability. Exact definitions and payout amounts vary by insurer — we will explain what is included before you apply.
Generally no — accident cover focuses on accidental injury. For illness-related risks, critical illness or income protection is usually more suitable. Many people hold a combination of covers.
It can suit people who want affordable lump-sum protection for accidents — including those in more physical roles, sports or active lifestyles. Your adviser will confirm if it fits your wider protection plan.
This depends on your income, savings, mortgage and how much you would need for recovery or adaptations. Your adviser will help choose a realistic sum assured based on your circumstances.
