This roads are becoming death traps.
I also lost a very good friend in a car crash last friday evening along Mombasa highway near Athi river.
Though ajali haina Kinga , guys please be careful while on the highways.

I also believe that the Road ministry and traffic departments are dead asleep.
You can be careful and then a drunk f***l hits you dead.

@pops, sad sad indeed. Pole sana and I said a prayer...

I checked with a friend. Comprehensive insurance only pays for injuries to third parties (not travelling in the car)

Personal accident is the cover that compensates for disability up to 8 years. And would also have allowed for injuries to your spouse.

Life insurance would be a god-send in this circumstance.



And for the other Wazuans on a related note, I was introduced to concept of Workers Injury cover; allegedly required by law for all employees and protects against any kind of workers injury. Don't know how may of us have it...

@Muganda 1st party is insurance company, 2nd party is owner of the car and family members, 3rd party is any other person who may be travelling in the car or injured while outside the car. Thats my understanding.

I've a post from a fellow Wazuan who had a bad accident in a company car.

I need some clarification please;
My car is comprehensive insured, you mean I cant claim injuries when I got "God Forbid" an accident?
Kwani does this coprehensive cover entail?
