Why do I think American General’s Accident Insurance is the best in the market?
- Scope of Coverage- Out of all the plans I have reviewed, American General's has the most complete coverage. A major exclusion most if not all other plans have is organized sports. American General's Accident Expense Insurance covers all amateur sports. For example if you have a son who plays high school football. He breaks his leg during a game. Other plans will not cover it, American General's Accident Expense will.
- Coverage Amount- Most accident expense plans have coverage limits of $5,000 with some going up to $10,000. American General covers up to $15,000 per covered person per year.
- Cost- When comparing coverage and premiums, I believe this is the best priced Accident Insurance out there.
- Pays On Top Of Existing Insurance- This is probably the number one reason I like this plan over others. When you read the fine print you realize most accident plans coordinate benefits with any existing insurance you may have. If you are covered for accident related medical costs by your health insurance the plan doesn’t pay out. Their plan doesn't coordinate benefits and will pay you back even for costs that are covered by existing insurance. For example you incur $12,000 in medical expenses from ATV accident. Your health insurance deductible is $3,000. After you meet your deductible your expenses are covered 100%. With most plans they will only pay out $3,000 because your health insurance kicks in. Amercian General will reimburse the full $12,000 minus your deductible (deductible options are $0-$500). Your health insurance would cover $9,000 out of the $12,000. This means you would keep the extra $9,000 to help with other expenses such as lost wages.
What is Accident Expense Insurance? Insurance that protects you financially in the event of an Accident.
Doesn’t my health insurance cover me for accidents? Yes, but you will still have to pay for most medical expenses associated with accidents out of your pocket until your deductible and possibly co-insurance are met. Adding lost pay if the accident caused you to miss work can be a big financial hit to deal with. For the cost, there is no better way to reduce this risk.
Why is it a good idea to have Accident Expense insurance? With rising health care costs and insurance premiums, most people have raised their deductibles and out of pocket liability to keep their health insurance premiums affordable. The best way to minimize your financial liability is by adding an Accident Expense plan.
Do I need to have health insurance to get an accident plan? No, you are not required to be covered under any other health insurance.
Is it hard to qualify? American General’s Accident Expense plan is guaranteed issue. This means there are no qualifying questions. Their only limits are based on your age. Everybody from the ages of 0-64 qualify in most states with some states requiring the primary applicant be at least 17 years old.

Nonfatal injuries affect millions of Americans. In 2009, 38.9 million people – about 1 out of 8 – sought medical attention. In 2008 about 27.9 million were treated in hospital emergency departments.
