Accidents can happen so easily, especially with children and youth. Each year, thousands of families have to pay medical and dental bills when their children are injured at school, at sporting events, on field trips or even at home. The most minor of accidents can result in major financial responsibilities which exceed or are not covered by OHIP or employer group insurance plans.
Student Accident Insurance is a way to protect your family from these unexpected expenses.
Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board has made available information for an Injury and Accidental Death Insurance Program for students.
