Personal Accident (PA) insurance provides personal protection should we unexpectedly suffer injury, become totally disabled as the result of an accident, or even lose our life.
The kind of cover typically included in a PA policy include:
• Total and Temporary Disablement *
• Loss of Life (also known as accidental death and permanent disablement)
• Medical Expense (daily hospital cash allowance, weekly income protection) **
*The definition of disablement is normally something like 'unable ever to work again and has been so disabled for 6/12 months.
Such cover is often taken by people who regularly drive a car because the 'Third Party' law in Hong Kong provides NO cover for the driver in the case of an accident and only provides cover for his passengers or other people who may be injured.
**The definition of medical expenses covered depends on the insurer and the plan undertaken. This also depends on the severity of the injury and the length of medication that’s prescribed. Most cases, insurers only cover half to a third of the costs of medical expenses when it comes to only outpatient service needed.
The rates charged will depend on your occupation, with certain categories of employment attracting higher rates due to higher risks. The rate for a clerical worker in an office for example will be lower than for an auto mechanic. Some insurers also provide coverage like accupuncture and outpatient physiotherapy for personal accident insurance.
Personal accident insurance normally does not include these instances:
• If injuries are result of sickness or disease
• If injury is result of deliberate or reckless danger
• If injuries are sustained whilst under influence of alcohol or drugs
• If injuries are self inflicted
• If injuries are sustained whilst a crime is committed
• If injury is result of stress fractures, sprains and strains
