What is Accidental Death Insurance?

Accidental death insurance is an easy and cost-effective alternative to life insurance that pays your estate a benefit upon your death, if resulted by an accidental injury. It differs from life insurance because you will not be paid a benefit if the cause of death is an illness. Therefore, we don’t recommend you replace your life insurance coverage with accidental death if you have one in place. We simply recommend adding it to your existing cover.

Aspect Underwriting offers one of the best online Accidental Death Insurance Policies in Australia. We pay a lump sum to your estate or beneficiary if you are to pass away due to an accidental injury. Accidental death cover is significantly cheaper than life insurance because it only covers injury. Generally, the sum insured would be in the range of $100,000 to $1,000,000 depending on your circumstances.

You can get an accidental death insurance quote online in minutes, purchasing it on your mobile or computer from anywhere in the world (provided you’re an Australian citizen).

Our intelligent cover builder provides you with the flexibility to get a quote for a standalone Accidental Death cover ; combine it with any of the following products or get a quote for the complete package and purchase it to protect your family’s financial security during difficult times:

Income Protection Insurance

Income protection insurance is a product that replaces your income if you are temporarily unable to work due to illness or injury. Most policies will provide you with a fortnightly or monthly benefit payment of up to 75% (some up to 85%) of the income amount you’ve insured. This can also be customised to include an additional benefits bundle, by paying an additional premium, for benefits such as overseas assistance, child’s trauma and housekeeper benefits.

Trauma Insurance

Trauma insurance provides you with a lump sum payment, payable on diagnosis, if you suffer a serious medical condition like a heart attack, stroke or cancer. A trauma benefit is typically used to pay off immediate medical bills, rehab expenses, replace income and assist with your ongoing costs, protecting you against future debts and time away from work. The sum insured could range from $50,000 to $500,000, depending on whether it’s a standalone cover or purchased in conjunction with other products.

Total & Permanent Disability Insurance

Total and Permanent Disability insurance pays you a lump sum amount if you suffer from a severe illness or injury that restricts you from working permanently. Aspect TPD cover is available for wide range of occupations. Whether you are in a white blue-collar worker, we cover the majority of professions. Insure for up to $1,000,000 benefit cover.

Frequently Asked Questions About Accidental Death Cover
