Accidents happen, and if you’re in one, you’ll soon find out that high out-of-pocket costs can add up quick. Direct Auto Insurance recognizes that sometimes it takes a little extra coverage to get you back on your feet.

Direct is proud to offer this product to our customers because we know that there are times when major medical or comprehensive health insurance isn’t enough.
What are the advantages?
Not only does our Accident Medical Expense Insurance help pay for costs not covered by other insurance, but there is no cap on the number of covered accidents. Think of it as additional coverage to supplement your existing health coverage2.
Are there only certain types of accidents you cover?
Injured from a car accident? Fall off a ladder? Get hurt playing basketball? Accident Medical Expense Insurance covers many accidents. If you have more specific questions about your accident, give us a call or stop by one of our stores so we can help.

Now you’re talking, so what are the benefit levels?
If your current health leaves you with high out-of-pocket costs, you can choose from options up to $10,000 per accident to help cover costs for your accident related injuries once you have met a $250 deductible per accident.
Are the premiums affordable?
We’re all about saving money at Direct, so we're pleased to let you know, that yes, this coverage is affordable! You can get this coverage for less than a dollar a day3. For example, a $5,000 benefit can be available for around $28 a month3.
