Centre In Financial Planning helps you understand "What is personal risk insurance"
There are four types of personal risk insurance:
- Life insurance (or death cover) - Pays a lump sum to your beneficiaries in the event of your death - While money can never replace the loss of a loved one, it's comforting to know the people who depend on you will be financially assisted.
- Total and permanent disablement cover - Pays a lump sum if you're no longer able to work due to total and permanent disablement - This additional money could be used to repay loans, help meet day to day living expenses, fund medical expenses, meet rehabilitation costs and pay for any modifications required to your home.
- Trauma insurance - Pays a lump sum in the event you suffer, for the first time, certain specified medical conditions such as a serious heart attack, stroke, cancer, etc
- Income protection insurance - Income Protection Insures you against loss of income while you are unable to work because of illness or injury. Income Protection insurance pays up to 75% of your salary package from your employment. Income protection insurance can provide you with an income to meet day-to-day living expenses, loan payments, school fees and other expenses during times of illness or injury. It also assists in preserving your assets. Without it, assets and investments may have to be sold to help meet expenses during periods of illness or injury.
