Insurance policies Workplace accidents and Accidents in private life

Have you had an accident at work, or on the way to or from work? It can happen. Our supplementary insurance policy for Workplace accidents will cover all possible costs that arise with this kind of accident. If you are long-term incapacitated for work, you will also receive a daily allowance.

Because you are an expat, we count the journey to and from your country of employment as a 'way to and from work'.

For accidents that are unrelated to your work, we offer a supplementary insurance policy Accidents in private life. It covers most accidents that are not workplace accidents.

Which costs are covered by the insurance policy?

From the day of the accident, we will reimburse the following costs:

• transport costs,,
• medical costs (medicines, but also hospitalisation costs, surgery, prostheses, etc.), and
• repatriation costs. These costs must be reasonable, related to your accident, and the Overseas Social Security must have explicitly acknowledged them.

Incapacity for work

Are you incapacitated for work for more than 30 days after your accident? Then from day 31 you will receive a daily compensation amount. If your incapacity for work is long-term, the compensation amounts are granted proportionally, based on the percentage of your incapacity for work and the compensation formula you have chosen.

Fatal accident

In the event of a fatal accident, the Overseas Social Security pays a contribution to the funeral costs. Your surviving spouse and orphans, or sometimes your parents, are paid annual interest. These benefit payments can be cumulated with the survivor's pension and the orphan's pensions of the basic package.
