Accident Only Income Protection

 

It's easy to overlook the possibility that you could one day have a disabling injury that forces you to give up your work, but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen. Our Accident Only Income Protection policy will cover you financially if you’re medically certified as unable to carry out the core duties of your job due to an accident. And, for your peace of mind, you can choose a benefit of up to £6,000 per month (depending on your selection when taking out the policy). 

 

​
