Personal Accident news : Accident prone construction bulls

Standard life logo - new
Those of you who wish to steer clear of danger might avoid walking under a ladder. However, for those Taurians out there it really could make the difference between arriving safely and coming a cropper.
 
According to statistics for claims for the last three years from B&CE Insurance, Taurus is the most accident-prone star sign in the Zodiac.
 
 B&CE discovered that Taurians made up a significant 11% of all claimants for their RapidCash personal accident insurance cover.
 
Aquarius, Gemini and Leo all come a close second, with 9%.
 
The statistics also show that Arians and Virgos are the least likely star signs to have an accident each accounting for only 7% of B&CE’s claims. Although Arians are thought to have a confident, energetic and adventurous character, they must see danger coming. Virgos on the other hand are diligent, analytical, and controlled, which is probably why they are one of the least accident-prone zodiac signs.
 
Brian Griffiths, chief executive, B&CE, (a Libra) says:
“Many of us go about our daily lives without much of a thought for the perils that may lie ahead, believing that if we take suitable precautions then we’ll arrive at the end of the day generally unscathed. However, it seems that as careful as we might be our fate is written in the stars. For those Taurians out there, it may be worth them taking a step back and assessing the path ahead before charging forward. Or, if they take unnecessary risks as is suggested, then perhaps consider a personal accident policy such as RapidCash. Our policy will cover them 24 hours a day, including time spent playing sport. It won’t protect them from future scrapes but will ease the financial pain should they injure themselves and need cash if they have to take time off work.”
 
RapidCash, a personal accident insurance product, is aimed at people in the construction industry, and primarily suitable for self-employed workers. For a small premium, policyholders are covered against up to 17 of the most common injuries suffered by those working in the construction industry.
