Every year, around 14,000 people tragically lose their lives in road accidents in South Africa. The aftermath of a car accident can be overwhelming, especially with the added worry of getting proper medical treatment if you are injured and have no medical insurance or medical aid. In these critical moments, having reliable protection in place can make all the difference.
Let’s learn why it’s important to get a motor vehicle accident plan…
What happens if I have no insurance or medical aid?
It’s important to understand what will happen to you if you need medical treatment following a road accident as a driver, passenger, cyclist or pedestrian.
Note 1: Any insurance you sign up for after the accident will not cover what has already occurred. Insurance policies are designed to protect you from future incidents, not past ones.
Note 2: New insurance will cover you for any injuries or treatment needed from potential road accidents or mishaps going forward. This would include benefits like medical expenses that ensure you’re not left vulnerable again. The worry that you may be thinking about now is: My wallet is taking a hit!
Immediate financial strain
Without medical insurance, medical aid, or an accident plan, you are responsible for all costs related to the accident and these medical expenses are soaring at the moment. Surgery, standard ER trauma costs and emergency treatment can be a financial burden that is far too overwhelming.
Access to private hospitals
With no insurance or plan for you and your loved ones, getting admitted to a private hospital is a challenge. Private medical facilities require proof of insurance or an upfront payment before providing treatment. What does this mean? That you’d have to go to public hospitals where resources can be limited.
