An accident insurance will cover you if you are physically or mentally impaired as a result of an accident. In specialist jargon such an impairment is called disability.
The biggest Problem in the selection of the right accident insurance is the complexity of the offer: On the one hand, the insurers are not exactly open-minded when it comes to your customers submit a clear offer.
But at the beginning there is the question: Is accident insurance mandatory or rather freestyle. Entrepreneurs who employ employees themselves are well aware of the statutory accident insurance: They have to insure their employees, even their interns, in a so-called trade association.
Statutory accident insurance essentially applies to employees. The entrepreneurs themselves, on the other hand, are only in a few Industries compulsory insurance, in other sectors the self-employed are free to insure themselves legally or privately against accidents.
When choosing insurance, you should consider the following points:
Some insurers have even more than a hundred different tariff variants - all with different conditions, insurance sums and progressions, which can be combined as desired.
In addition, many insurance companies advertise unnecessary extras such as daily hospital allowance (more on that later), which are rather uninteresting for customers, instead of the important core services and prices clear to highlight. This confusion can make it extremely difficult to choose the right insurance.
On the other hand, many insured persons do not even know what insurance cover they actually already have - and which one they still need: Because even if you have never signed an accident insurance contract directly, you can still do it insured be - somehow at least.
Check it out: Perhaps you already have an insurance with an association, a travel insurance or a credit and customer card - because accident insurance is often part of such a package or can be bought here as cheap extras. Only in this way is it possible to explain that there are already 30 million contracts for accident insurance in Germany.
In order to avoid delimitations to other insurances, you should check overlaps with other insurances. Legal protection insurance can also be responsible for accidents. Because the question of guilt cannot always be clearly clarified. Or the events are presented differently by the other party involved in the accident. If you then want to enforce your claim for damages in court, you may be better off with traffic legal protection insurance, since the Costs in legal disputes can quickly reach unimaginable heights.
It is advantageous if the legal protection policy includes this financial Risks takes over. The insurance also pays the legal and court costs in the event of a lost case. For the Streit it can happen at many levels outside of the transport sector. It is not uncommon for property boundaries to be involved and even a treetop protruding over the boundary can lead to a lawsuit. In the work life there are often disputes between employees and employers in the case of redundancies or severance offers.
No wonder that insurance companies offer different individual policies and packages. Private legal protection is the most common variant and, depending on personal needs, can be supplemented by, for example, professional, traffic, housing and property legal protection.
However, legal protection insurance does not cover the costs of all disputes. Defense against claims for damages is just as little insured as active criminal prosecution. Disputes with your own legal protection insurer are also excluded, as are complaints before the Constitutional Court or before international courts. And very often the construction risk exclusion comes into play. Legal expenses insurance can useful be, but since they are also expensive, it must be checked whether they really cover the specific risks.
But the number of insured persons can also vary depending on the tariff: You can take out private accident insurance for individuals, but especially if you have children, one policy is for the whole Family, which includes your appendix, often cheaper. However, if you do not want to insure yourself, you can also take out private children's accident insurance.
Attention! Detach yourself from redundant insurance Many completed accident insurance schemes are simply not profitable for the insured:
Ultimately, there is only one thing: check thoroughly existing policies. The following parts of our series show you what you need to look out for.
Announce all insurance contracts that do not meet your needs and look for an insurance that fully covers your accident risks.
An accident presupposes that the insured person involuntarily suffers damage to health as a result of an event that suddenly affects the body from outside (accident event).
However, if an illness or an existing disorder triggered the accident, this will be taken into account in the insurance payment by means of a corresponding deduction.
Accidents which are caused by special dangers in professional or private life, eg due to extreme sports, are excluded from insurance coverage, but can be additionally insured with an extra charge.
Some insurances also offer extended insurance coverage, eg injuries to limbs or spine (dislocations or tears of muscles, tendons, capsules or ligaments), even if the damage occurs only through excessive force exertion without external impact (for example, if you are a heavy piece of furniture to lift).
Tick bites and even some typical female cancers are also treated as accidents by some insurance companies. Ask You targeted for such conditions.
In general, however, are excluded accidents that occur in the execution or attempted crime, as well as accidents caused by war or civil war, civil unrest or nuclear energy.
Also not paid is accidents caused by drunkenness, mental and mental disorders, as well as strokes or other spasm attacks, except by an accident. Accidents involving the insured are not covered by the use of aircraft, except for the risk of passengers, as well as accidents at vehicle events where maximum speed is required.
Depending on the contract, you will receive the in the event of an accident Performance as a one-off capital payment (useful if you have to carry out renovations, for example) or as a pension benefit.
If you agree on a one-off payment, you should also agree on a monthly supplementary pension, which usually pays out in the event of a 50 percent disability to be certified by a doctor. It costs more, but up to a point Age maintenance is guaranteed.
If you have an accident: go to the doctor immediately and report the accident immediately to the insurance company. An accident with death row, such as the life partner, you must even report within 48 hours. Completely complete the accident report sent by the insurer and follow the doctor's instructions. If you violate this, the insurance may refuse performance.
However, the physician often can not immediately determine the disability, for it is often only after a long time that a permanent invalidity exists or the doctor can not immediately make the right diagnosis. As a rule, therefore, the invalidity has occurred within one year after the accident and must be documented in writing and reported to the insurance company within 15 months after the accident. However, if your insurance gives you more time, this is more customer-friendly.
How much Money You get depends on the degree of disability. This is determined by the limb tax, a table according to which insurance companies determine the degree of disability in the event of the complete loss or complete inability to use certain limbs or sensory organs.
The invalidity is assessed on a percentage basis according to a specific tax rate determined in the terms of the contract.
An insurance policy that you have taken out to safeguard your business activities is generally not interested in your private problems. Especially not if she should pay for it. And certainly not if you make false statements.
Just like in the case of a taxi driver. She testified that she had clashed with a passenger who did not want to pay for the trip. In the following argument she was pushed against the car, fell and tore a ligament. She wanted to claim this as an accident at the employer's liability insurance association.
Bad luck that the responsible regional court of Hesse looked closer: The supposed passenger was the ex-friend of the insured, who had left them shortly before. In addition, she had reported him to the police for the theft of 1000 euros. The court therefore did not consider the trip to be a conventional taxi ride, but a private ride - and the trade association was not responsible for this. (LSG Hessen, AZ L3U 265/06)
