Accident insurance

Financial protection for accidents big and small

Accidents don’t need to be big to be expensive. Even common injuries like simple fractures can have a significant impact on employee finances. That’s what makes accident insurance an important part of any benefits plan.

To meet the unique needs of your clients, Symetra offers two types of accident insurance. They work in different ways, but both give employees a financial cushion against out-of-pocket costs after an accident.

It pays fixed amounts based on the types of injuries or treatments, and in general, the more serious the accident, the greater the benefits paid. Three standard plan designs are available, and each can be customized to meet a group's needs.
