Accident Insurance in Germany

– Insurance –

Don’t let a split of a second affect your life more than it has to

Unfortunately, neither of us is bullet-proof. Statistics show that every 2.5 mins there is an accident that leads to permanent damage. And if that alone wasn’t worrying enough, roundabout 70 % of accidents happen off work, school/kindergarden or university.

If an accident happens off work, school/kindergarden or university, that means the state won’t pay for any treatments you might need. Sure, your health insurance covers the immediate care, but if you need to rebuild your home, someone to clean your house in the first couple of weeks or simply the good rehab, you will have to pay for that yourself. The only way out is an accident insurance that covers exactly those expenses and even pays a lifelong monthly income to supplement your loss in work power.

FAQs Accident Insurance in Germany

What is an Accident Insurance?

The Accident Insurance is offered by private insurance companies. It pays an agreed upon amount in case you as the insured person have an accident that led to permanent damage. The exact amount is usually linked to your degree of disability. Additional coverage includes a life-long monthly payout, cosmetic surgery, household help, salvage costs, rehab, artificial limbs etc.

How much does an Accident Insurance in Germany cost?

The premium depends mostly on your age, job and wanted payout. Accident Insurances are usually quite affordable. You can go for a single Accident Insurance or include your whole family.

How do I get an Accident Insurance?

The Accident Insurance is only sold via private insurance companies. The application process is easier than with an Occupational Disability Insurance, as you don’t have to answer any health related questions. That being said, you should still do the math and determine your personal financial needs before buying an Accident Insurance.

Can my application be neglected?

Not really. Since your health status is not important, Accident Insurances are usually not applied for, but bought.
Some employers offer a Company Accident Insurance or might consider offering one when asked. Please contact us for more information.

Can I get an Accident Insurance in Germany as an expat?

Yes. With some insurance companies, you can even buy the Accident Insurance abroad, making sure you’re covered already on your trip to Germany. Also, coverage is worldwide. So whether a mountain hike goes wrong or you had a diving accident at the Great Barrier Reef, the insurance company will cover the salvage costs and even fly you back to Germany if necessary.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yeppa. An Accident Insurance can be canceled for any reason and at any time. Cancellation period is usually between 1 and 3 months, though differences may occur.
