Accident Coverage

Accident Insurance

Accident insurance provides a lump sum payment to help pay for expenses that medical insurance may not cover if you are injured in an accident.

Help alleviate the added costs that may result from an accident with MetLife Accident Insurance.

Accidents happen every 2 seconds at home and every 7 seconds on the road.1 And accidents can be expensive; each trip to the emergency room costs an average of $1,233.2 Expenses can add up quickly.

Here's how it works:

Kathy’s daughter, Molly, plays soccer. During a recent game, Molly collided with an opposing player, was knocked unconscious and taken to the local emergency room (ER) by ambulance for treatment. The ER doctor diagnosed a concussion and a broken tooth. He also ordered a CT scan. After thorough evaluation, Molly was released to her primary care physician for follow-up treatment, and her dentist repaired her broken tooth with a crown. Luckily Kathy has accident insurance!
