A sudden accident can sometimes lead to bodily injury that may result in the disablement of one or both limbs, loss of sight, speech or hearing. This can not only be discomforting physically and emotionally, but also put you in a financial dilemma if you haven’t saved enough to meet the expenses required for treatment and hospitalization.
This is why purchasing insurance against accidental disablement is essential as it helps to safeguard you against any such uncertainties in the future. Take, for instance, the Accidental Disability Cover (both partial and total disablement), a FlexiCare Group Insurance cover offered by Bajaj Markets in partnership with Manipal Cigna Health Insurance.

Payout Choices
You can choose your payout method as per your convenience after claiming the sum insured. You can choose for the sum insured to be paid out in a lump sum or in the form of installments.
