Why you should go for accident insurance for your family
Do your children sometimes give you a hand in your business? Go to the post office to post some business letters? Or out to deliver an order for you? That is no problem at all. But remember that they, too, could have an accident along the way. For example, what if you ask your son to fetch you a bottle of water from the basement at your business and he falls down the stairs? Did this accident happen in his private life or while he was helping you out? To play it safe, it's always a good idea to insure your family members for both scenarios. And that's what you can do with our accident insurance for family members. This insurance covers them both in their private life and when they are with you on your company's premises.
