Group & Personal Accident Insurance
Accidents can happen anywhere — at home, at work, on the road or during everyday activities. Their consequences can include medical expenses, disability, loss of income or even death.
Personal Accident Insurance provides financial compensation for specified accidental injuries, disabilities or accidental death.
Group Personal Accident Insurance extends similar protection to groups of individuals, including employees, members of associations, organised groups and other eligible groups.

Personal Accident Vs Group Personal Accident
Understanding the difference helps you choose the right arrangement.
- Personal Accident Insurance covers an individual against specified accidental injuries, disabilities or death. It can be purchased by anyone for themselves.
- Group Personal Accident Insurance covers a group of people, such as employees, association members or SACCO members, under one policy arranged by the employer or organisation.
- Both provide similar core benefits — accidental death, permanent disability and accidental medical expenses — but group cover is typically more cost-effective per person.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Personal Accident Insurance?
Personal Accident Insurance provides financial compensation for specified accidental injuries, disabilities or accidental death. It is separate from medical insurance and pays a defined benefit rather than covering hospital bills.
Does Personal Accident Insurance cover illness?
No. Personal Accident Insurance covers injuries, disabilities and death arising from accidents only. Illnesses and natural causes of death are generally excluded. Medical insurance covers illness-related treatment.
Can I buy Personal Accident Insurance for my family?
Yes. Family Personal Accident Insurance covers you, your spouse and children under one policy, with benefits payable if any covered family member suffers a qualifying accident.
How is the premium calculated for Group Personal Accident Insurance?
Premiums are generally based on the number of people covered, the benefit levels selected, the nature of activities or occupations and the claims history of the group.
Does Personal Accident Insurance cover accidents abroad?
Many policies provide worldwide accident cover, meaning you are protected wherever the accident occurs. Check the policy terms, as some may restrict cover to Kenya or specified territories.
What is the difference between Personal Accident and WIBA Insurance?
Personal Accident Insurance covers specified accidental injuries whether or not they happen at work. WIBA Insurance specifically addresses an employer's statutory compensation obligations for work-related injuries and occupational diseases under Kenyan law.
