Statutory accident insurance only covers work-related accidents. However, most accidents happen during leisure time - at home, while playing sports, or on vacation. Private accident insurance protects you and your family around the clock.

Mild impairment
Proportional benefit
25-50%
Moderate impairment
Increased benefit
50-75%
Severe impairment
High benefit + pension possible
75-100%
