Protect yourself against the costs of a major accident

Engineers Canada-sponsored Major Accident Protection can provide the funds to help take your mind off the immediate costs of an accident – so you and your family can focus on recovery instead of bills.

  • Up to $1 million maximum Major Impairment benefit
  • $125,000 maximum Accidental Death benefit
  • Premium starting as as little as $1.50/month
  • Premiums do not go up with age
  • No medical tests or questions when you apply
  • You’re covered 24/7 anywhere in the world

Two coverage benefits. Major Accident Protection combines Major Impairment accident coverage with Accidental Death coverage – anywhere you are in the world, 24/7.

Guaranteed acceptance. NO medical tests or questions are required when you apply. Your spouse can also apply.

Low premiums never increase. This is one of the most affordable plans you can purchase for personal accident protection – as low as $1.50 a month! Plus, your premiums stay the same even as you get older.

Lump sum benefit amounts. Each unit of coverage provides up to $200,000 of Major Impairment benefits plus $25,000 of Accidental Death insurance. With the maximum 5 units, that goes up to $1 million and $125,000, respectively. The minimum benefit amounts payable are outlined below:
