1. Accidental Death Coverage
   In the event of death caused by an accident, this insurance provides a lump sum benefit to the beneficiaries. This amount can help cover funeral expenses, outstanding debts, and provide financial support to the family.
   Example: If an individual dies in a car accident, their family receives a predetermined lump sum payment to cover funeral costs and assist with living expenses.
2. Permanent Total Disability (PTD)
   If an accident results in permanent disability (e.g., loss of limbs, blindness), the policy provides a lump sum payout to the policyholder. This helps compensate for the inability to work or live independently.
   Example: An individual loses their eyesight in an accident and is unable to continue their work. The insurance policy pays a lump sum amount to help with their disability and related costs.
3. Temporary Total Disability (TTD)
   If an individual is temporarily unable to work due to an accident, this coverage provides a weekly or monthly benefit to replace a portion of lost income during the recovery period.
   Example: A person sustains a broken leg in an accident and is unable to work for two months. The insurance provides financial compensation to cover lost wages during their recovery.
4. Medical Expenses Coverage
   The policy covers medical expenses resulting from an accident, including hospital stays, surgeries, outpatient treatments, and prescription medications.
   Example: After an accident that requires emergency treatment, the insurance covers the cost of hospitalization, doctor visits, and medical tests required for recovery.
5. Hospitalization Benefits
   If the policyholder is hospitalized due to an accident, the insurance provides daily hospitalization benefits to cover room charges and medical care.
   Example: Following an accident, the individual is admitted to the hospital for several days. The insurance covers the daily cost of their hospital stay.
6. Accidental Injury Benefits
   Provides financial compensation for specific injuries resulting from an accident, such as fractures, burns, or dislocations. The severity of the injury determines the payout.
   Example: A person sustains a broken arm in an accident, and the insurance provides a specified payout based on the severity of the injury.
7. Rehabilitation and Recovery Costs
   The insurance may cover rehabilitation costs, including physical therapy, medical devices (e.g., prosthetics), and home modifications required for recovery after an accident.
   Example: An individual who has lost a limb in an accident uses the insurance to cover the cost of prosthetics and physical therapy required for rehabilitation.
8. Accidental Hospital Cash
   Some policies provide a daily cash benefit if the policyholder is hospitalized due to an accident. This cash can be used for miscellaneous expenses or to replace lost income.
   Example: A person is hospitalized for several days due to an accident. The insurance provides daily cash payments to help with expenses while in the hospital.
9. Worldwide Coverage
   Many personal accident insurance policies provide worldwide coverage, ensuring protection regardless of where the accident occurs.
   Example: An individual is traveling overseas for business and is injured in an accident. The policy provides coverage for medical costs and accidental death or disability, no matter the location.
10. Accidental Loss of Income
    If an individual is unable to earn income due to an accident, the policy provides a regular payout for the duration of the disability.
    Example: After an accident, a policyholder is unable to work for several months due to a broken back. The insurance provides a monthly income replacement during their recovery period.
