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.
