Critical Illness Cover or what is sometimes referred to as Trauma Insurance...

When considering the above statistics, chances are that you don't have to look too far before you will find that you know someone who has had some sort of critical illness or serious trauma.  When a major trauma occurs, such as cancer, heart attack or stroke the ongoing medical costs and day to day living can be a heavy burden to carry. There is insurance specific to these types of illness referred to as Trauma Cover which pays out a lump sum to ease the financial stress so that you cope with the effects on your lifestyle, family and work – so that you can concentrate on your recovery.

If you can’t afford for something to happen (have a look below at the image...), you should seriously consider taking out relevant insurance.  The insurance industry is constantly changing and insurance companies are updating product benefits – an adviser has the knowledge to explain what is available and more importantly what best suits your circumstances.
