How does it work?
Accident Insurance can help provide financial protection if you
suffer a covered injury and need treatment. It can pay a benefit
directly to you to offset the high cost of co-pays, deductibles and
other expenses your medical insurance doesn't cover. This plan also
covers on-the-job accidents.
Unum's coverage provides a lump-sum benefit based on the type
of injury (or covered incident) you sustain or the type of treatment
you need.
