CASH TO GET YOU BACK ON YOUR FEET
We get it, accidents and injuries happen. We also understand the path to recovery is dotted with unexpected costs – transport, meals, cleaners, shopping and visits to the doctor.
Personal Accident Insurance from our Recover Cover range of recovery and life insurance products gives you flexible financial help as a lump sum payment* to support you with your recovery.
"I got a lovely surprise as a cash payment went straight into my bank account in a week or so, it was wonderful. [Personal Accident Insurance] helped with my bills and HCF were just excellent. I feel so blessed that I am with HCF. I feel like HCF really showed me a level of care that you don’t get everywhere.”
