Critical Illness

Critical illness cover

Here at Continental, our critical illness protection solutions go to work right at the moment you can’t. When a serious illness strikes it can have a devastating impact on almost every aspect of your life. While there is little we can do to protect ourselves against many of life’s incidents, making provision for the financial implications of critical illness is something we can all put in place. An increasing number of people across the world are being affected by diseases that not only cost a huge amount in treatment, but also leave patients incapable of retaining their jobs. This has a dramatic effect on their source of income.

Covering yourself with a life insurance policy makes sense, not only to safeguard your loved ones’ futures, but also to protect your savings and future income if you suffer a debilitating disease. In the event that you have not made adequate financial provisions, surviving a potentially fatal disease could be very stressful, and drain your savings while increasing your expenses just at the moment your income stops.

Why you may need critical illness insurance

These days, people are living longer, even after they’ve been diagnosed with serious diseases, which is terrific. Ironically, here at Continental, we’ve found that the need for critical illness insurance has increased in line with life expectancy. The longer we live, the more likely we are to battle illness, and this means increased medical expenses that can seriously deplete our health insurance and personal savings. At Continental, we understand that critical illness insurance will help you to pay for uncovered medical bills and household bills. What’s more, your critical illness insurance can even provide capital to start a new home-based business if that is something you’re interested in.

Continental can find the best critical illness policy for your needs

Critical illness insurance can put your mind at ease. At Continental, we will advise you of the best long-term insurance policies to cover you in the event of serious illness. In the event that you become ill, your critical illness policy will make a one-off payment. This can be used to pay for your mortgage, rent, or debts. Or you may choose to use your pay-out to make necessary alterations to your home, such as wheelchair access, should you need it.
