Why Group Accident
According to the CDC:
- Over 10,000 people receive ER treatment related to recreational injuries per year.
- Unintentional injuries are one of the top three causes of death for people ages 15-54.
- 3.5 million people suffer a non-fatal injury from a motor vehicle accident each year.
Today’s high health insurance deductibles and copayments mean that the out-of-pocket costs of these injuries can be devastating to your family finances. Monthly bills such as housing and utilities can be difficult to pay, requiring more debt or worse.
