An accident insurance protection plan that offers broad coverage and deep care to help you and your family bounce back from an accident.
We know you’ve so much going on in your life. So you may be concerned if an accident will not just impact you physically but also disrupt your momentum in life. Which is why we’ve designed MySafe Accident Protection Plan (“MySafe”) for people like you – a personal accident insurance plan that offers broad cover and deep care should you encounter an accident.
From support for scarring directly caused by accidents to the waiver of the maximum annual reimbursement amount for physiotherapy and chiropractic treatment under specific conditions, we’ve thought of it all, so you don’t have to worry about it.
Did you know falls is the most common cause of accidents, and that most childhood injuries took place at home?*
Household injuries are common, especially if you have kids. Fortunately, most are just bumps, bruises and scrapes which can be treated at home. However, for more serious accidental injuries, MySafe has got you and your children covered from as young as 15 days old.
Beyond disabilities and death, we also care about how scars caused by accidents can impact you and your children. Which is why we provide the first-in-market Scar due to Accident⁴ benefit with MySafe.
