What Is Accidental Death Insurance?

Accidental Death Insurance is a specialised insurance policy that offers financial protection in the event of the insured’s death due to an accidental injury. It provides a lump sum payout to the designated beneficiaries or estate of the insured upon their death caused solely by an accident.

Value of Accidental Insurance

Does the payout reduce with age in Accidental Death Insurance?

No, the benefit payable on accidental death insurance typically does not reduce as you age. In fact, you may have the option to increase the benefit amount if eligible. Additionally, payouts often increase annually in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Some policies may offer guaranteed insurability, allowing you to increase the sum insured to accommodate life events such as marriage or having children. This ensures that your coverage remains relevant and adequate throughout different stages of life.

How much Accidental Death Insurance do you need?

To determine the amount of accidental death insurance needed, consider factors like income replacement, outstanding debts, future expenses, and family goals. The recommended coverage for accidental death insurance is generally at least 10 times your annual income. For example, if you earn $50,000 per year, a policy for $500,000 would be suggested. However, the specific amount needed may vary based on individual circumstances and financial needs. Consulting a financial advisor can help tailor the policy to your specific needs and circumstances.

What’s covered?

Accidental Death Insurance typically covers death resulting from accidental injuries, such as car crashes, falls, drowning, and other unforeseen incidents.

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 a wide range of occupations. Whether you are a white blue-collar worker, we cover the majority of professions. Insure for up to $1,000,000 benefit cover.
