Personal Accident Plan

What would happen if you suffered a serious injury? It’s likely you’ll need to take some time off work to recover, which could hit your earnings. The Personal Accident Plan pays out a lump sum benefit if you suffer a specified injury, which means you can concentrate on getting better without having to worry about money.

The Personal Accident Plan provides cash benefits from fractures and serious accidents

We all believe ‘it will never happen to me’ but I’m sure you’re aware of someone who has suffered a serious accident – either at work, in a car or at home. Ask yourself…what would happen if I suffered a serious injury?

It’s likely you’ll need to take some time off work to recover, which could hit your earnings. And then there are other financial costs – perhaps you’ll need to make changes around the house or other expensive lifestyle changes. Let’s not forget the inconvenience and disruption to your life and those around you either.

This is why the Personal Accident Plan could prove invaluable. It pays out a lump sum benefit if you suffer a specified injury. With up to €100,000 of benefits on the Premier Plus Plan, it means if you suffer an accident you can concentrate on getting better without having to worry about money.

Rob is very easy to deal with. Many people at the yard I have my horse has signed up to Hive Insurance. Great plains available for small monthly payments.

I recently purchased equine insurance from Hive Insurance after a recommendation from a riding centre. Rob was very professional, knowledgeable, helpful and assisted in myself and my children all having cover before the end of the day! There were three options of cover to choose from.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience and have been passing his details to my equestrian friends.

Highly recommend!

As an ISSA member, I had an accident and put in a claim with Hive here in Ireland and I have to say, the service was great and really helpful, but the best bit was my claim was dealt with and paid out within a week! Couldn’t recommend them enough.

“With all sports, the risk of injury is always present and equestrian sport is no different and in the case of our yard, where the risk ranges from 128cm ponies through to Grand Prix horses, covering Riders, Grooms and Yard Staff the danger seems ever present. Therefore, these day every risks combined with the issues surrounding Irish equestrian insurance; the launch of the Equine Safety Initiative could not be more perfectly timed in my opinion. Furthermore, after a visit, Rob McOwan expertly and efficiently introduced and implemented the roll out of the ESI to everyone involved within our yard without any disruption. Highly recommend everyone involved in horses gets behind and supports this initiative as we will all benefit from it in the short and long term”.

“Having spoken with Rob at Hive, he was able to offer me a superb policy which gave me peace of mind to get back into the saddle once restrictions eased during the year. As an active member in the AIRC, I was delighted to recommend this initiative to all our club members as Hive’s customer service and expertise in the equine industry is second to none”.

“I am proud to be working with Hive Insurance Services as I think their approach to Irish Equine Insurance is breath of fresh air and very much needed within our industry.”

“Their alliance with all of the various equestrian governing bodies and their introduction of the Equine Safety Initiative (ESI) is just one example and I strongly believe that if we all get behind, support and promote this important safety program; given time, the Irish equine insurance market could change for the better, with less small claims burdening our equestrian businesses premiums could stabilise, even drop… can you imagine that!”
