1. What is meant by "accident" and "accidental death"?

Accident means an event resulting in bodily injury occurring whilst this policy is in force, where the injury is directly and solely caused by accidental, violent and external and visible means and where the injury is not self-inflicted.

Accidental death means death occurring as a direct result of an accident which took place while the life insured was covered under the policy and where death occurs within 12 calendar months of the accident.

2. I have a personal accident policy with another insurer. Can I take up another policy with Liberty General Insurance? Will both policies pay for claims?

Yes, you can take up PA policy with more than one insurance companies. In the event of legitimate claim, you will receive the full amount payable under your PA policy even though you have received compensation from other insurance company except for medical expenses where we will only reimburse for the amount that have not been reimbursed under any other policy.
