What is Personal Injury Insurance?
Accidents. We never see them coming.
But you can be better prepared with the right personal accident insurance policy. Personal Injury Insurance is designed to offer some peace of mind to members, participants and volunteers of an organisation by having protection for certain costs related to an injury sustained whilst involved in an insured’s activity.
