The term life insurance, in it's day-to-day form refers to an insurance policy taken out against an individual's life - as the name suggests, and like every other type of insurance, it requires the policyholder to pay regular premiums to their insurance company. The result of the policy is that, should the holder die during the term of the policy, the insurance company pays out either a lump sum or a regular income to the dependants or other nominated persons. There are many reasons why it is a good idea to take out a life insurance policy, the most obvious is to provide financial security and peace of mind to your family, should you die unexpectedly.

Critical illness protection covers you upon diagnosis of a pre-specified illness during the term of the policy. In the unfortunate event of the worse happening you could receive either a lump sum or regular payments to help with recuperation, medical costs, payment of your mortgage, or for modifications to your home such as widening your doors for a wheelchair if you were to become permanently disabled.

If you have children and one was diagnosed with a critical illness and was in a hospital many miles away it is likely that you would want to stay with them or at the very least visit them everyday. Could you afford to do that? Most critical illness policies include benefits that are paid out if one of your children should suffer in this manner at no extra cost without affecting your own personal benefits from the policy.
Most insurers offer both types of policy, and the cost of combining the two under one insurer can help keep costs down.
