What is accident insurance?
KBC‘s personal accident insurance covers you for personal accidents, including accidents at home, in your garden, doing sports or pursuing hobbies.
Accidents will happen... You could fall off a ladder when gutter cleaning, hurt yourself pruning, cycling or jogging, or burn yourself with an iron. And those are just a few of the recognisable everyday accidents. If the worst does happen, it’s reassuring to know that you’re well covered by personal accident insurance.
