Accidents are common and sometimes cause fatal injury leading to disabilities or death. Personal Accident insurance is a benefit policy providing compensation in the event of an unfortunate event. It provides for the payment of compensation in the event of the Insured sustaining death or disablement by bodily injury, resulting solely and directly from accident caused by external, violent and visible means.
