Customers are missing out on valuable protection because they believe individual protection policies do not cover everyday risks such as broken bones, new research1 from MetLife UK shows. MetLife MultiProtect is currently the only stand-alone policy covering broken bones and fractures.

The nationwide study found nearly two out of five (39%) adults do not believe individual protection policies will pay out for everyday risks such as broken bones and nearly half (49%) do not know whether policies will cover everyday risks1 .

Yet, It is estimated that more than 600,000 people suffer broken bones each year1, with supporting researching showing that 66% of boys and 40% of girls will sustain a fracture before their 15th birthday3.

MetLife’s MultiProtect is currently the only stand-alone policy which alongside a variety of benefits, specifically covers broken bones, including fractures and chips. Adults can receive playouts of up to £3,750 per major broken bone and a Child Cover benefit can be added on to cover all children*.

Around 56% of MetLife’s broken bones claims2 last year were for adults while 44% were for children. MetLife paid out a record £8.6 million of 11,428 claims in total to customers with an individual policy. This was on average 30 claims paid every single day in 20182.
