Ageas: Paralysis is a critical condition, right?

logo

Your wife’s just called. Her best friend Deborah has fallen off her horse and has been left paralysed down her left side. The Doctors have told her that the paralysis in her left leg is temporary but that her left arm will be permanently paralysed.

She’s obviously happy that she’ll walk again. But she’s devastated by the news and worried about how she’ll do her job and look after the house and children without being able to use her left arm.

At least the payout from the critical illness cover you recommended to her will soften any financial impact – for example it will pay for any changes needed around the house to make her life easier.

Or will it?

Many critical illness plans only pay out if the client is completely paralysed in

2 or more limbs.

How would she feel as you delivered this news?

And how would you feel as her adviser?

At Ageas Protect we think paralysis to any limb is a life changing experience. That’s why our critical illness cover pays out if your client is paralysed in any limb.*

All protection is not the same.
