Accident insurance
With a full-time job and three rambunctious kids, Marsha is a busy woman. If her children break something other than a window, she doesn't want an injury to break her bank account as well.

When life takes a tumble, our accident benefit gives you something to fall back on. Our coverage provides a lump sum benefit based on the type of injury sustained or the type of treatment needed. Covered expenses include emergency room treatment, doctor office visit, hospitalization and physical therapy.
