What does children’s sports accident insurance cover?
The children’s sports accident policy offers personal accident and sports injury cover to protect against the financial effects of an injury sustained whilst participating in organised sports.
The policy is designed to ensure that your child has some compensation and protection from sports related accidents and some help in recovering.
Accidents can happen at any level or frequency of sport and by taking out an insurance policy you ensure that if your child is involved in a sports related accident the most important issues can be taken care of. The cover can include Personal Liability, Personal Accident Compensation and Rehabilitation Fees.
Only a summary of the policy’s coverage is presented on this page. Please refer to policy documents for full details of what is and what is not covered, when you get a quote.
