What is the difference between a regular motor insurance and personal accident insurance?
A standard motor insurance policy with “third party” coverage (compulsory in Malaysia) insures against third-party claims in the event of a motor accident.
A personal accident (PA) insurance is instead designed to compensate injuries, disability or death caused solely by an accident, arising from road accidents, work-related accidents, accidents at home, whilst doing sports, hobbies etc. PA takes care of the financial burdens from accidents so that they do not cost you, your family, and/or your business.
Statistics
- Malaysia has ASEAN’s 3rd highest road traffic accidents fatality rate: 21.74 deaths per 100,000 population, costing ±1.5% of Gross National Product (GNP), or RM5.12 billion.
Transport accidents (5.3%) were the 4th most common cause of death in Malaysia in 2016, behind ischaemic heart disease (17.8%), pneumonia (11.1%) and cerebrovascular disease (7.2%).
Case Study
A policyholder’s Range Rover Sport was stolen from outside his home. With a specialist high net worth insurer, the same day they would arrange a similar four-wheel drive courtesy car for him until his claim was settled. The car was found 27 days later… unfortunately, in police custody after having been involved in a heist. A trial would possibly take a year before authorities could release the car. Luckily, the insurer accepted this as a ‘total loss’ and paid the full “Agreed Value” of his car — agreed at the beginning of the policy.
This meant that he received a better settlement than the ‘market value’ of his car, which most insurers pay, and could replace it with exactly the same model.
