Why purchase Group Personal Accident cover?
The key asset of any business is its employees. Although when it comes to considering insurance protection,
other insurances often take priority and protection for employees can be overlooked. With Group Personal
Accident cover, a business can minimise any interruption caused by a fatal accident or short and long-term
employee absence.
Group Personal Accident benefits are paid to the business for the benefit of the business or its employees. Consider the following:
How would a fatal or disabling injury of a valued employee have an impact on production and sales?
• Who incurs the cost of a temporary replacement?
• Who incurs the recruitment costs for a new permanent employee?
• How much would it cost to adapt the work place, home or car following a disabling injury?
Why purchase Group Personal Accident when there is already Employers Liability cover?
• Unlike a standard liability policy, negligence does not need to be established before a personal accident
claim can be paid. • Group Personal Accident benefits would usually be paid more quickly than under an Employers Liability
policy and the money could be used almost immediately.
• Quick benefit payments to an employee may prevent them pursuing an Employers Liability claim so this
could protect future claims related premium increases of the Employers Liability policy.
Will the Motor Fleet policy provide adequate Personal Accident cover if an employee is injured or killed in a
road traffic accident?
• Dependent on the circumstances there may be no benefit payable under a Motor Fleet policy. If the
accident involved no third party responsibility, then the policy may provide little or no Personal Accident
cover. A Group Personal Accident policy can include cover when travelling and commuting to and from
work.
Why include cover for Accidental Death when a Group Life Scheme is already in place?
• As benefits are paid to the business for the benefit of the business or its employees, Accidental Death
benefit under a Group Personal Accident policy may be used as business protection. • In situations where there could be multiple fatalities such as a road traffic accident where employees
could travel together, payment under Accidental Death cover may be used for pension fund protection.
• A Group Personal Accident policy from Chubb is flexible so a business may select reduced Accidental
Death cover or, if preferred, cover disabling injuries only.
Why consider Group Personal Accident cover as an Employee Benefit?
• Group Personal Accident provides a competitive remuneration package for employees at low cost to the business.
• A Group Personal Accident policy is a significant selling point in the recruitment and retention of staff.
• Purchasing cover for employees demonstrates the concern the business has for the physical and mental well-being of its
employees and their families. What if an employee suffered a serious accident at work and could never work again? How would
such a tragedy upset the morale of other employees if their colleague and dependants had no financial support?
