Accident protection can provide a one-off small lump sum in the event of an accident – such as broken bones. This can ensure any costs that are incurred because of this can be paid for but can also help people who rely on not getting injured to do their job.

What are the benefits of accident protection insurance?
One of the main benefits of having an accident protection policy is that you avoid the possibility of having to pay medical bills which are likely to be very expensive. It can be difficult dipping into savings to pay for something we weren’t expecting, so the right cover will provide some financial security and overall peace of mind.
Being unable to work can be worrying, with bills and family to think about. At Key Mortgages we aim to provide our customers with the most support possible during challenging times, so we can help protect you against loss of income and other financial difficulties following an injury.
