The Number Two Cause of Death
Accidents are the number two cause of death in America. However, they cause even more injuries than deaths. When most people think of an “accident,” they think of being injured in a vehicle.
However, accidents with farm equipment, hand tools, or other home situations can be just as hazardous and actually happen more frequently. While your medical needs may be mostly covered by your health insurance, there are other costs that are not. Your health insurance will likely have a deductible that needs to be paid.
Health insurance also often has a percentage coverage, and you are responsible for the other portion (for example, insurance pays 80%, and you owe 20%). Also, you will most likely have recovery time, which means time off from work. How will you pay your bills?
Accident insurance helps to cover all the expenses you have by paying you cash per injury.
