Trauma Cover. What is it and why have it?

We all know of someone who has been suddenly diagnosed with Cancer or a serious medical condition, had a heart attack or stroke. It could be a neighbour, a friend, a work colleague or even a family member.

 

When it does happen it makes all of us realise just how precious life is.

 

Many people begin to ask, what would I do if it happened to me? How would my family cope? How would I survive? How would I pay my bills?

 

In the early 1990’s Trauma insurance was introduced to the Australian Market. Originally created in South Africa to provide cover for heart valve replacement surgery it was soon introduced to the US market by several American Insurers who modernised Trauma cover by adding many of the Illnesses covered today.
