Plain-English meaning

A policy designed to help with eligible injuries from accidents while excluding illness coverage.

Why the exact wording matters

Compare accident-only with accident-and-illness coverage using the same deductible and limit. A lower premium can reflect the much narrower set of covered events.

Where to verify it

  • Definitions section
  • Coverage or insuring agreement
  • Exclusions
  • Benefit or limit schedule
