World Headed For a Smash-Up

According to the World Health Organization, 85 percent of countries lack adequate laws to protect travelers against problems related to traffic deaths and injuries. Traffic accidents are the ninth leading cause of death worldwide, surpassing AIDS and TB. The laws just don’t exist. We say, that translates to only one thing: you better be well insured. Safety First Travel Insurance comes to the rescue from the minute you’re in the ambulance.

Dr. Margaret Chan, WHO’s director general, announced in New York. “Even when the legislation is adequate, the problem we have is enforcement.”

The 287-page report surveyed 178 countries, representing 98 percent of the world’s population. Pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcycle riders make up almost half of the deaths.

Safety First Travel Insurance’s travel policies have excellent coverage for traffic mishaps, and we highly recommend this coverage.
