K‐12 Accident Insurance
Unexpected Accidents Can Happen
The brochure explains how you can help guard against certain unexpected events. Our plans are designed to help supplement any insurance you have by satisfying deductibles or co‐insurance requirements, or limiting the possible financial impacts of an injury if you have no other insurance. Remember that the more active your child is, the more valuable this coverage can be.
