Insurer Equity Red Star has added a new level of cover to its family personal accident plan.
The new Economy plan will sit alongside the company’s existing Super and Standard levels of cover.
The plan covers family members aged between one month and 75 years of age and provides a daily benefit if an insured is admitted to hospital and pays a lump sum for permanent disability.
Dawn Illing, Equity’s product development manager said: “Recent government statistics reveal that around 84 000 people are injured in DIY and gardening-related accidents each year, whilst around 40 000 children are injured in playgrounds.
“The ERS family accident policy has been created specifically to address the fact that the aftermath of personal accidents often leads to modifications or mobility aids being required in victims’ homes.”
