Accidents are inevitable and are part of our day-to-day lives from childhood to the golden ages. While children are the most prone to accidents because of their lack of sense of danger, adults also often find themselves in serious accidents.
Falls account for the majority of non-fatal accidents among kids and adults. Other accidents can include road accidents, cuts, whips, and breakages, among others.
Some accidents can lead to serious injuries that can lead to long-term disability. This call for financial backup should the unexpected happen, as hospital bills can add up to a hefty amount.
Hospital bills aren’t the only concern. In some cases, you might need reconstructive surgery or mobility aid, and physical therapy, all of which are expensive without a good personal accident cover.
Get Insurance cover from as low as Ksh. 200 with Telkom’s Life Bila Noma
If you suffer from permanent disablement due to an accidental injury, the cost of caring for you would potentially be much higher and could place a financial strain on your family.
Having a Personal Accident plan which pays a lump sum cash benefit upon permanent disablement due to an accidental injury, can help to provide some financial support.
Various organizations have rolled out products to get their customers covered in case of unfortunate events. A good example of such a product is the Life Bila Noma product by Telkom Kenya.
