Financial support when you need it most
A serious illness can change your life in an instant, affecting not just your health but also your financial stability. Medical treatments, time off work, and recovery costs can place a significant strain on your household.
Trauma Insurance provides a lump sum payment if you are diagnosed with a covered critical illness, such as cancer, stroke, or heart disease. This financial support allows you to focus on your recovery without the added pressure of medical bills or lost income.
At Abbotts, we help you find tailored Trauma Insurance solutions that align with your financial needs. With independent advice and access to a range of trusted providers, we ensure your policy gives you the protection and flexibility you need during difficult times.
What is Trauma Insurance?
Trauma Insurance, also known as Critical Illness Insurance, provides a lump sum payment if you are diagnosed with a severe medical condition. Unlike health insurance, which covers hospital bills, or income protection, which replaces lost earnings, Trauma Insurance offers immediate financial relief to help cover a range of costs, including:
- Specialist medical treatments and rehabilitation expenses.
- Home care, lifestyle modifications, or mobility aids.
- Mortgage repayments, household expenses, and childcare.
- Time off work for you or your partner to focus on recovery.
With the right Trauma Insurance policy, you can concentrate on your health without worrying about the financial impact of a critical illness.
