What Is Personal Accident Insurance?

Personal Accident Insurance pays cash lump sums if you suffer serious injuries, illness or death in an accident. This could be at work or elsewhere. Payouts cover:

  • Lost income while unable to work
  • Cost of medical treatment & rehabilitation
  • Recruitment/retraining for replacement staff
  • Other injury-related costs

We cover accidents including:

  • Traffic collisions
  • Slips, trips and falls
  • Injuries from assaults or violence
  • Workplace accidents
  • Sporting injuries
  • Injuries abroad while temporarily overseas

With up to £200,000 of cover, our policies offer a vital buffer so accidents don’t jeopardise your livelihood.

Why Do Professionals Need Personal Accident Cover?

Suffering a serious injury can severely impact your ability to work and lead your business. Without personal accident insurance, lost income and unforeseen costs can quickly build up.

Struggling with finances is the last thing you need while recovering. Our policies pay cash sums to cover:

  • Income lost from time off work
  • Private medical treatment & therapy
  • Adjustments like home/vehicle modifications
  • Costs of getting replacement staff

This prevents accidents derailing your business during recovery/rehabilitation.


Unlike public liability, personal accident insurance is not an automatic cover, it is an optional extension under all Professional Saver policies.

What Does Personal Accident Insurance From Professional Saver Cover?

Our Personal Accident Insurance policies offer comprehensive protection for both injuries and other losses stemming from accidents worldwide. We have designed our covers based on over 35 years’ of experience specialising in safeguarding professionals, tailoring features to your needs.

Injuries Covered:

In the unfortunate event you suffer physical harm in an accident, our policies provide pay-outs for injuries including:

  • Fractures to bones across your body, from minor to the most serious compound or crush fractures. We cover the fractures themselves plus any related complications or recovery issues.
  • Dislocations, ruptures, tears or other traumatic damage to joints and ligaments causing immobilisation or needing surgical repair. For example, we would cover a dislocated hip or detached retina from an accident.
  • Loss of key senses like sight, hearing or speech. This includes partial or full loss whether temporary or permanent in nature. For example, we cover accidents causing blindness, deafness or loss of the ability to speak.
  • Serious burns, scalds and permanent scarring resulting from flames, heat, chemicals or electricity. We cover the injuries themselves plus required treatments like skin grafts or reconstructive surgery.
  • Loss of limbs through traumatic, accidental detachment or damage necessitating amputation. This includes legs, arms, hands, feet or digits. We also cover losses reducing independent functioning of limbs.
  • Brain injuries, skull fractures or other major head trauma leading to cognitive/neurological issues. For example, we cover memory problems, paralysis of facial muscles or changes in personality arising from head accidents.
  • Hospital stays over 24 hours needed for assessment and treatment of accident-related injuries. As well as the stay itself, this includes treatments received like surgery or intensive care.
  • Paralysis, loss of control or loss of independent physical function in limbs impacting self-care or livelihoods. For example, becoming wheelchair reliant after spinal cord paralysis.
  • Death from any cause in an accident or later complications arising from accident injuries sustained. This provides a lump sum to nominated beneficiaries.

Worldwide Cover

Our Personal Accident Insurance covers accidents occurring absolutely anywhere in the world. You’ll be fully protected whether accidents happen near home, while on holiday abroad or during temporary overseas work assignments.

We also cover accidents arising from terrorism, natural disasters or other catastrophic events wherever they occur around the globe when you are present in the location. The only territorial exclusion is cover within the United States and Canada.

24/7 Protection

Protection from our policies applies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week wherever you are. We do not apply restrictive conditions only covering accidents at work or those occurring during set work hours. You have round-the-clock protection.

We cover accidents both while working and during your personal and leisure time, providing complete peace of mind no matter where you are or what you are doing when injuries strike.

Cash Pay-outs

After accidents, we pay out cash lump sums directly to you rather than just covering specific costs. These tax-free sums are for you to allocate as required depending on the impact of injuries.

Pay-outs aim to cover your lost income while unable to work. The money can also help fund medical treatments, adjustments like home modifications, rehabilitation and other accident-related costs.

We offer Personal Accident Insurance on a standalone basis or as an optional add-on to complement other covers like Professional Indemnity and Public Liability Insurance.
