What is Accident Protector?
Accident Protector is a first line of cover insurance policy and is underwritten by Prosperity Lifecare Insurance Limited. Accident Protector offers policyholders peace of mind in a life or death situation.
What does it cover?
This policy provides cover in the event of a motor vehicle accident, injury on duty or emergency transportation by road or air. This includes hospital medical treatment resulting from a reported motor vehicle accident or injury on duty.
Why do I need this?
If you are an employer or travel a lot for your living this could–quite literally–be a lifesaver. It is estimated that there are approximately 11,310 serious injuries in Namibia due to accidents every year. The cost of these fatalities and serious injuries add up to a terrifying $1,200 million. The age range for the vast majority of injuries (73%) is in the economically productive age group of 15 to 64 years old. Interestingly men are most likely to being in serious accidents with the 15 – 49 year olds being the most vulnerable.
Why be insured? What are the risks?
As these frightening figures show, motor vehicle accidents and their consequences should not be taken lightly. The risks are simply too high—being in need of superior medical care in your most distressing moments and being unable to receive it. If you do receive care from private services the costs are great and you may suffer major setbacks from that follow your recovery.
