Group Benefits come in all shapes and sizes, but how can an accident plan help protect you from the hazards of life?
Accident plans are an additional benefit that employers offer to employees that can pay cash directly to employees in the case of an out of work accident. Accident plans can cover you on the job, or off the job, but it should be noted that they are different than property and casualty insurance. This plan is fundamentally designed to help employees from loss-of-income scenarios.
Employees are the backbone of small businesses, and they might need protection from the loss of income that can occur from non-workplace accidents. Whether a car accident, fall, or other unfortunate event, an Accident plan puts a plan in place to help employees in their time of need when other insurance policies may not cover loss of income.
Accidents can happen at any time. Injuries affect millions of people in the United States every year. Unfortunate events such as this can cost an employee their entire life savings and bring them to financial ruin.
With all things considered, small businesses are encouraged to protect their employees from all types of risks. And one of Crabtree Benefits’ recommended ways to eliminate these risks is to offer group accident insurance plans to employees.
Insurance claims protect policyholders against financial loss. When a person or group pays premiums to process the completion of an insurance contract between the insured party and an insurance provider, the policyholder is entitled to paid and secured insurance claims. These claims may come in the form of medical compensation, payment for property damage and liability, and funeral or burial costs.

We’ve mentioned before that not all insurance claims are created equal. Aside from the standing of the policyholder and the gravity of the event, the type of insurance claims also affect the approval of the claim and the duration of the process. Here are the main types of insurance claims covered by most policies:
Health insurance policies protect the policyholder against financial loss brought about by accidents and illnesses. A health plan can cover the full or partial amount of the policyholder’s hospital bills and medical goods or services. In a way, it can help the policyholder avoid paying personal expenses straight from the pocket.
Life insurance claims require a more lengthy process as these are considered large face value policies. An in-depth examination by the insurance carrier and benefits consultant is needed to push through with the claim. Policyholders and their beneficiaries are then required to submit important paperworks like death certificates and policy contracts. Aside from the three aforementioned claims, other insurance carriers also provide homeowner claims, renters insurance claims, first-party insurance claims, and third-party car or home insurance claims.
To grasp your situation and know the right time to file a claim, the first thing you need to do is understand the policies, benefits, and types of insurance plans. Have advanced knowledge of the impact of your future claims and gauge whether or not a claim is worth the rate hike.
The next and most important step is to contact your insurance provider or seek assistance from Crabtree Benefits. The right agents can give you a heads-up if you wish to file a claim or know the consequences of the claim.
The most critical step in filing a claim is to notify Crabtree Benefits immediately—preferably as soon as the policyholder becomes aware of the incident.
The most common types of insurance claims are health insurance, property and casualty, and life insurance.
The policyholder should consider rate hikes when filing for an insurance claim.
