FAQs related to an Accident Claim

No, the insurance does not cover treatment at private hospitals or clinics. Only public treatment is covered. Please read the insurance policy for more information on which treatments are covered.

If you have been exposed to an occupational injury, it will be the occupational injury company that will mainly deal with the case and reimburse your expenses. We therefore ask you to report the damage directly to them via your employer. The reason for this is that occupational injury insurance has much more comprehensive coverage than accident insurance. It is the insurance policy with the largest coverage that takes the lead in a personal injury case. You then also avoid having to deal with several companies at the same time whilst having your claim considered under the correct coverage.

Please see your insurance documents for more information about your insurance. If there is a deductible on your insurance contract, this is only deducted once.

We ask you to read your insurance documents to see what is covered by your insurance. If your damage has been approved as accidental damage, the insurance usually covers the following:

  • Bone fracture compensation
  • Dressings and medicine prescribed by a doctor
