What is Accident Insurance?
Offered by employers on the labour market within their social security, incentive, and loyalty promotion plans, Accident Insurance is a bonus which is highly appreciated by employees.
Accident Insurance envisages reimbursement of treatment expenses in cases of injuries, compensations in cases of disablement, and compensations as a percentage of the insurance coverage depending on the severity of the injury. The Accident Insurance coverage may also include the risk of critical medical conditions, which means payment of a compensation in case the patient is diagnosed for myocardial infarction, stroke, cancer, or any other serious condition, the risk of exposure to ionising radiation in cases when employees operate any systems which may cause a medical condition associated with exposure to ionising radiation, as well as other risks for extra security.
The Accident Insurance Policy will serve as significant financial support for your employees in case of an accident.
