Statistics from one of our insurance providers showing the claims paid out that really hit me the hardest is the amount paid for cover for children’s trauma claims – When I was growing up I can’t recall kids being affected by strokes and cancer as they are affected today. Yes, we heard of the odd seriously ill child from an accident due to falling off bikes, or sport, etc. but never heard of the critical disease we see today. I can’t believe how many children are diagnosed with some horrible disease.

The parents have to deal; with watching their child suffer, and also deal with the financial burden it puts on them. Yes, Starship will make sure the medical intervention is first class, but what they don’t cover are things like days of work looking after their children, Hospital trip, in some cases flights and accommodation. All this carry’s a cost both emotionally and financially it could be a fortune.

Many of our clients are covered for this, and it has not cost them a cent to insure their children with trauma cover – as it is included in the own insurance package. Up to $1,5 million was paid out for this benefit in the last year or so. Something worth considering, we don’t have a crystal ball giving certainty for the future, but we can take the opportunity to reduce the financial cost with the right cover in place today.
