There are certain things we don't like to think about. Death, serious accidents and critical illnesses are likely near the top of everyone's lists. While one is inevitable, many bury their heads in the sand when considering accidents and critical illnesses.

These and similar thoughts might be comforting, but what if? Accidents happen, and critical illnesses can afflict even the youngest and healthiest among us.

Lost income is another major issue.
