How we help you

Why choose If’s personal accident insurance?

  • Income is not reduced during recovery

    After an accident, you can take a sick leave with a peace of mind, since your income will not be reduced during recovery.
  • Private doctor or rehabilitation available

    As you are recovering from the accident, you can be treated by a private doctor or undergo rehabilitation if needed.
  • Insure the entire family under one policy

    Personal accident insurance is suitable for everyone – women and men, children, and adults working in all fields.
Coverage almost anywhere in the world

Enjoy more peace of mind every day, wherever you or your family members may be – our personal accident insurance provides round-the-clock coverage almost anywhere in the world (except in Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, and Israel).

What types of accidents are covered?

Domestic injuries and traffic accidents

Our home is our castle. However, most of the accidents happen right there – at home. A sleepy misstep in a dark room or a twisted ankle on the stairs can easily result in a painful fall, dislocation, concussion, or even a fracture. Even more injuries can occur while taking care of household tasks indoors or in the garden – for example, burns, cuts, puncture wounds, or even poisoning.

Unfortunately, being cautious is not always enough when moving in the street. In dense traffic, made even more unpredictable by fast-moving bicycles and e-scooters, situations can change in an instant. And if you happen to make a wrong move while distracted, the consequences can be quite serious.

Personal accident insurance works like trauma insurance – it supports you during recovery. In the event of an unexpected injury, you can also see a private doctor and undergo rehabilitation if needed.

Sports injuries (including professional sports and children’s accidents)

Personal accident insurance is like sports insurance because it is in sports that accidents are most common. It makes sense to insure yourself especially if you play sports or have an otherwise mobile lifestyle.

Personal accident insurance is also suitable for children involved in sports. An injured child may need paid medical care or rehabilitation to recover quickly.

Accidents at physical work

Physical work requires not only fitness and endurance but also good attention. A small miscalculation or moment of inattention can lead to an accident.
If you wish, you can add this coverage to your personal accident insurance as well.

Life-threatening conditions

When a family member is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, the lives of all family members are likely to change dramatically and may not return to normal even after treatment ends. Such life changes can also bring unexpected expenses. Personal accident insurance can help you cope with them.

Coverage for life-threatening conditions includes the following diseases and conditions: malignant tumour, benign brain tumour, heart attack, stroke, aortic aneurysm, and kidney failure.
