Difference Between Accidental Insurance & Life Insurance
To understand the benefits of a personal accident cover, it is important to learn how it is different from a life insurance policy.
Accidental Insurance |
Life Insurance |
Personal accident insurance plans are specifically designed to cover accident-related losses, including the policyholder's death as a result of the accident. Also, these plans offer cover for hospitalisation, total or partial disablement, reconstructive surgery, ambulance costs, etc. |
Life insurance plans provide coverage to policyholder’s beneficiaries wherein they receive a fixed amount as a lump sum upon the policyholder’s death or the policy’s maturity, whichever is early. Whether accidental or natural, a life cover provides death benefits with a few exclusions. |
