Reliance Personal Accident 360Shield

Partial disability limits your ability to perform your job in some capacity. For example, this could be hearing loss, loss of a limb, loss of one eye, etc. - Injuries that don't completely incapacitate you. Total disablement prevents you from doing any type of work. For example, this could be total body paralysis, coma, severe head injury that affects your cognitive abilities, or loss of two or more limbs.

Put Simply: With partial disablement, you will still be able to seek employment and work in some capacity. Total disability prevents you from seeking any type of work due to the complete physical impairment of your body.

Insurance compensation for total disability is generally higher to account for the fact that the person is no longer able to work. While compensation for partial disability is slightly lower in comparison, since the person can still go back to work once they recover.

Under the Reliance Personal Accident policy, you're covered for both permanent partial and permanent total disability up to ₹25 Crores.

Personal accident insurance is a type of insurance that provides compensation to you or your family in case you suffer from any injury, disability or loss of life due to an accident. It offers a payout amount (usually the sum insured) in case any of these events cause you to halt work or lead to a loss of life.

The kind of disability from an accident could be either partial or total. For example, disablement could be loss of both eyes or one eye, loss of all limbs or any one limb, loss of hearing in one or both ears, etc.
