What impact would a traumatic event have on you and your family?
Trauma events encompass severe medical conditions that have the potential to affect the well-being of you or your loved one.
These include conditions like:
- Heart attacks
- Cancer
- Strokes
- Major head injuries
- Alzheimer’s disease
Conditions like cancer and strokes can strike without warning, affecting the person facing the illness and the entire family. These medical conditions often come with substantial medical expenses and unplanned financial burdens, making it challenging for the family to cope. Additionally, dealing with a life-threatening illness can disrupt the ability to work, adding another concern for the family’s financial stability.
During such challenging times, with interest rates rising, mortgage repayments increasing, and the cost of living, in general, being a continually increasing financial burden, trauma insurance steps in and provides support for both you and your family with a lump sum payment. It’s designed to provide essential support by covering medical bills and those unexpected out-of-pocket expenses that can strain a family’s budget.
What Impact would Trauma insurance have?
Two out of every five people will face a cancer diagnosis by the time they reach the age of 85. What would happen if you or a family member received that life-changing diagnosis and could no longer work?
In times like these, is it a relief to have access to a lump sum of money that could step in to replace lost income and help relieve the pressure of mounting medical bills and unforeseen expenses? Trauma insurance offers comprehensive financial protection. Here are some of the ways trauma insurance can be your safeguard:
- Settling Outstanding Medical Bills
- Adapting the Family Home, such as creating wheelchair access, reconfiguring the bathroom, etc
- Household Bills
- General Living Expenses
- Paying off the Mortgage
- Ongoing Recovery Costs
