CASH TO HELP WHEN ACCIDENTS HAPPEN

Kids’ Accident Cover from the Recover Cover range of recovery and life insurance products pays cash straight to you for many common injuries, to help cover financial stress and unexpected costs like splints, extra treatments and therapies, or even keeping the house running while they get better.
