South Africa has one of the highest road accident rates in the world, with approximately 12,500 road fatalities annually and thousands more suffering serious injuries. The financial consequences of a severe accident can be just as devastating as the physical impact.

This April, in support of Road Safety Awareness, it is important to highlight the role of Income Protection and Disability Cover in securing financial stability for individuals affected by road accidents.

Why Disability Cover is Essential for Road Safety Preparedness

For severe accidents that result in permanent disability, Disability Cover provides a lump-sum payout that can be used for:

• Home and vehicle modifications for accessibility
• Long-term medical care and rehabilitation
• Paying off outstanding debts to reduce financial pressure

A serious accident should not lead to financial hardship. With Disability Cover, individuals and families have a financial cushion to adjust to new circumstances without sacrificing their quality of life.
