Some things in life are unexpected. If you or a covered family member experience an unexpected accident resulting in a broken bone or severe burn, individual accident insurance can help provide financial support for the expenses that come next.
While we hope that every accident results in a quick recovery, some injuries may have longer recovery times. That’s why we cover a variety of treatments.
It's simple. You don't need to answer any health or medical questions to enroll today.
You and your family staying healthy? We hope everyone has a healthy life! We'll pay you a benefit when you or your family remain injury-free for five consecutive years.²

Self-employed: If you miss work while self-employed, you’re often missing out on potential earnings. Individual accident insurance can allow you to pay for things like child care or even groceries while you're recovering from an injury.
Occupations that most benefit from supplemental coverage: There are certain occupations that may put individuals at a higher risk of accident or injury. These include:
Electricians, plumbers, and construction workers
Auto mechanics, independent contractors, and ride share operators
Photographers, painters, and gig workers
Retired: Individual accident insurance can be a great option for retirees who are living more active lives and want to protect themselves in case of an injury or illness.
