Why Zurich Multi-Fracture Cover?

Protect your customers from the cost of broken bones, dislocations, Achilles tendon ruptures and cruciate ligament tears.

An injury like a broken bone could put your customer off work for weeks, if not months. Multi-Fracture Cover provides a financial cushion that allows them to concentrate on their recovery.

This can be added at an extra cost to Personal Protection or Income Protection policies and your customer won't have to answer any questions about their health or activities. Multi-Fracture Cover must be added when a policy starts and can be removed at any point.

Multi-fracture cover

We’ll pay a lump sum if your customer:

  • Breaks a bone like their arm or their leg
  • Dislocates a joint, like their shoulder or their hip
  • Ruptures their Achilles tendon
  • Tears a cruciate ligament in their knee

  • Minimum age at entry 18
  • Maximum age at entry 64

Included as standard:

  • Your customers will receive either £2,000, £4,000 or £6,000 depending on their injury.
  • Your customers can claim multiple times each policy year up to a maximum of £6,000.

What isn't covered:

  • We won’t pay a claim for fractures that are classified as fatigue, hairline, stress, avulsion, chip or microfracture.
  • We won’t pay a claim for dislocations that are treated without anaesthesia or sedation.
  • We won’t pay a claim if the customer’s main occupation is a professional or semi-professional sportsperson. This also applies to any injuries that occur by participation in any sport where the customer is paid or gets compensated in another way to take part.

Some activities also pose a higher risk of injury than others, so there are some we don’t cover.

We will not pay a claim if an injury occurs while taking part in, or training for any of the following sports or pursuits:

  • Rugby, Gaelic football or American football
  • Boxing, combat sports, martial arts or cage fighting
  • Hockey, lacrosse, hurling or shinty

  • Extreme sports, for example, but not limited to, base jumping, parkour
  • Rock climbing, mountaineering, caving, potholing or abseiling
  • Private flying, paragliding, gliding or parachuting.
