It is simply
not possible to forecast an accident.
You cannot predict if climbing the ladder to change a light bulb will
send you to the emergency room or your next drive to the store will leave you
injured. But as all families know, an
unexpected accident can throw everyone into a tailspin. Even though you can take steps to prevent
accidents from happening, you can ensure you are financially prepared when
accidents occur by getting Accident Insurance.
The U-Haul
Dealer Benefits Program is pleased to be able to make this important Accident
Insurance benefit available to dealers and their employees and families. We have selected Illinois Mutual Insurance
Company, a premier provider of life and disability insurance since 1910, to
underwrite this coverage because of their excellent claims-paying record and their
progressive approach to workplace insurance programs.
Easy Enrollment for Dealer and Employees.
A key feature is our convenient, easy to use online
enrollment. It is private and secure so
you can review and select the coverage you want and enroll on your own busy
schedule.

While most
people carry medical insurance to pay the hospital and doctor, when you are
injured you are still financially affected because you are faced with paying
deductibles, co-payments and other out-of-pocket expenses. Also, even if you
carry disability insurance, many injuries are not serious enough to receive a
disability benefit. The average cost of
a disabling injury was $52,900, according to the National Safety Council
(2005).
How does it work?
After an
accident or injury, your Accident Insurance pays a cash benefit directly to you,
so that you don't have to suffer financially when you are already suffering
physically. The insurer pays you regardless of other coverage you may have,
which means there is no coordination of benefits for existing plans.
Your premiums
are paid through convenient authorized check, so even if you leave the
dealership, you retain full ownership of the policy. The coverage is portable, so you can take it
with you when you leave.
