Personal Accident Insurance Policy (Motor)
A Personal Accident Insurance Policy (Motor) is an insurance policy that provides financial protection to the owner/driver of a motor vehicle in case of accidental death or disability due to an accident while driving the insured vehicle.
PA compulsion in Motor Policy in India
As per the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, every vehicle owner in India must have a third-party liability insurance policy covering the owner's legal liability towards third-party damages. However, Personal Accident coverage is not mandatory but is highly recommended for additional protection.
Is Motor Standard PA coverage sufficient
Motor Personal Accident coverage is not sufficient on its own as it only provides coverage for the driver/owner in case of an accident. Most insurers will allow you to expand the coverage by opting for add-on to also include passangers
