Personal risk insurance can be categorised into the following areas:
Life Insurance
Pays out a lump sum to provide financial security to beneficiaries in the event of death of the insured.
Income Protection
Provides an income when you cannot earn one due to severe illness or disability. This will allow you to continue meeting your financial commitments (ie mortgage, school fees, food) throughout your illness.
Trauma/Crisis Events
When an unpredictable event – such as physical impairment, heart attack, cancer and stroke occur – without discrimination.
Total and Permanent Disability
Will provide a lump sum payment to you should you suffer an illness or injury which totally and permanently prevents you from returning to work.
