Trauma Cover
Trauma insurance was first introduced in the 1980s and has since been a very successful and popular form of insurance to fill what was until this time a void. With the advancement of modern medicine people are living longer and surviving conditions that in the past may have killed them which, as morbid as it sounds can create a situation whereby a person may be back at work within a few weeks but left with massive medical costs, this is where Trauma or critical Illness insurance comes in.
Trauma Cover pays a lump sum if you suffer from one of the specified major diseases or injuries covered such as a heart attack, stroke, cancer or blindness.
It has been designed to provide a benefit to help you cover medical and rehabilitation costs, and to help with lifestyle and employment changes or can simply be used to take a well needed holiday after such an experience.
