Posted on: October 21, 2019 by iSure

Are your employees properly protected if a travel incident occurred? Travel accident insurance is a specialized type of group life insurance travel plan. To put it simply, it acts as life insurance and insurance against accidental death and dismemberment in the event of a travel accident. The benefits are paid regardless of whether the traveler has other life insurance and AD&D coverage. Specifically, travel accident insurance plans limit their coverage to the following:
- Accidental Death and Dismemberment
- Emergency Evacuation
- Repatriation
- 24/7 Travel Assistance Services
Some travel accident insurance plans may include a small amount of coverage for emergency medical expenses. A few plans allow the traveler a maximum benefits range to choose from and several are designed specifically for the frequent business traveler and include coverage for non-medical emergency evacuations. With this group life insurance plan, you are also protecting the company against unexpected expenses that the company is responsible for in the event that the traveling employee falls sick or gets into an accident. Your employees are your most valuable asset and you would want to protect that asset.
The policy may cover:
- Occupational hazards similar to on-the-job coverage
- Owned aircraft coverage for corporate aircraft travel Theft or cyber liability in the case of lost company information
- Kidnap and ransom for high-level executives
- Delayed or damaged baggage coverage in case valuable information does not make the trip
Travelers that Need Coverage
Travel accident insurance is specialized insurance to cover a specific need such as the loss of life or limb. It is ideal term life and AD&D coverage for business firms who may want to offset the loss of a key employee for instance.
