Types of Accidental Injury Description of Accidental Injury due to Accident Sum Assured /Coverage Amount (BDT)
Head Injuries Severe collision impacts can cause a closed head injury. In that situation, the fluid and tissue inside the skull are damaged because of the sudden movement or impact of the head. Less severe closed head injuries often result in concussions, while the most severe impacts can cause brain damage. Major types of head injuries include Hematoma, Hemorrhage, Concussion, Edema, Skull fracture, Diffuse axonal injury etc. BDT. 25,000.00
2nd& 3rd Degree Burn Second-degree (partial thickness) burns. Second-degree burns involve the epidermis and part of the lower layer of skin, the dermis. The burn site looks red, blistered, and may be swollen and painful. Third-degree (full thickness) burns. Third-degree burns destroy the epidermis and dermis. They may go into the innermost layer of skin, the subcutaneous tissue. The burn site may look white or blackened and charred. BDT. 18,750.00
Chest Injury, Internal Injury These injuries can be more severe such as broken ribs or internal injuries such as internal bleedings. Blunt trauma occurs when a part of the body collides with something else, particularly at high speed or with great force. When this happens, blood vessels inside the body can be crushed or torn. Penetrating trauma occurs when an object penetrates the body and tears holes in blood vessels, muscle and internal organs. This can happen when someone falls onto a sharp object, as in workplace accidents, or when objects collide with and penetrate the body in motor vehicle accidents. BDT. 12,500.00
Drowning Travelers may experience respiratory impairment from submersion/immersion in water or any other liquid due an accident while traveling. BDT. 10,000.00
Fractures, Dislocation, Dismemberment, Amputation A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open or compound fracture. A dislocation is an injury to a joint — a place where two or more bones come together — in which the ends of the bones are forced from their normal positions. Dismemberment or amputation is a cut off or disjoin of a limb or a part of a limb. BDT. 6,250.00
Scrape and Cut, Abrasions, Soft Tissue Injury, 1st Degree Burn Cuts and scratches are areas of damage on the surface of the skin. A cut is a line of damage that can go through the skin and into the muscle tissues below, whereas a scrape is surface damage that does not penetrate the lower tissues. A soft tissue injury is damage to the body’s connective tissue, which means muscles, ligaments and tendons.  An abrasion or “excoriation” is a wearing away of the upper layer of skin as a result of applied friction force. First-degree burns affect only the outer layer of skin, the epidermis. BDT. 2,500.00
