Personal Accident and Illness Insurance

Protecting you, your business, and your income

Life is unpredictable, and an accident or illness can affect more than just your health, it can impact your ability to work and earn an income. Personal Accident and Illness Insurance helps reduce the financial burden by providing weekly or lump-sum benefits if you’re unable to work due to injury, accident, or in some cases, sickness.

At Network Insurance House, we work with individuals, self-employed professionals, and businesses to arrange the most appropriate level of cover, ensuring peace of mind when the unexpected happens.
