What to Know
Example
While riding a bike, Terry’s daughter swerved to miss a ball on the ground, fell, and broke her arm. She had an ER visit, follow-up doctor visits, and physical therapy. These expenses add up quickly. Terry’s accident insurance helped her pay for out-of-pocket expenses for her daughter’s care, including transportation and parking to and from appointments.
