🦴 What Is Fracture Cover and Do You Really Need It? 

Life can be unpredictable — and sometimes, that means a slip, a trip, or a tumble. That’s where Fracture Cover comes in. It’s a simple, affordable way to add an extra layer of protection to your existing insurance policy. 

What Is Fracture Cover? 

Fracture Cover is an optional add-on to policies like Income Protection, Life Insurance, or Critical Illness Cover. It pays out a tax-free lump sum if you suffer a specific injury — typically a fracture, dislocation, or tendon/ligament tear. 

Think of it as a financial cushion while you recover. 

💡 Why Consider Fracture Cover? 

Here’s why many people in the UK are adding this to their protection plans: 

Quick Payouts: No lengthy claims process — just a straightforward lump sum. 

Covers Common Injuries: From broken wrists to fractured ribs, many everyday injuries are included. 

Affordable: Premiums usually range from £4 to £7 per month. 

Peace of Mind: Especially useful for active individuals or those in physical jobs. 

📋 What’s Typically Covered? 

Coverage varies by provider, but common injuries include: 

Fractures to arms, legs, ribs, hips, and skull 

Dislocations (e.g. shoulder, knee) 

Ligament or tendon ruptures 

💬 Note: Not all injuries are covered, and payout amounts depend on the severity and location of the injury. There are also annual claim caps for multiple fractures. 

💷 How Much Could You Receive? 

Payouts can range from £1,000 to £6,000, depending on the injury. Most policies allow multiple claims per year, up to a set limit. 

🛡️ Is Fracture Cover Right for You? 

You might benefit from fracture cover if you: 

Have an active lifestyle or play sports 

Work in a physically demanding job 

Want extra financial support during recovery
