Lung Cancer: Am I Covered By My Trauma Insurance Policy?

Cancer is one of the leading causes of disease and disability in Australia and lung cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer, especially in men.  Lung cancer in women has surpassed breast cancer as the leading cause of cancer deaths in women in many countries around the world.

Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer; however lung cancer does not just affect smokers. Other causes of lung cancer can be attributed to exposure to certain chemicals and pollutants such as asbestos and air pollution.  Diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and tuberculosis can also increase the risk of lung cancer.

Having a trauma insurance policy in place that covers you for lung cancer can lift the financial burden that can occur as the result of being diagnosed with this condition. Once diagnosed you will receive a pay out from your trauma insurance, which can help with the cost of medical bills, loss of income and the costs of everyday living such as food, bills and mortgage repayments.
