What Is an Insured Event under Accident Insurance
An accident can happen unexpectedly and lead to injury, temporary or other loss of ability to work, or other consequences.
However, not every occurrence is automatically an insured event.
For an event to be recognised as insured, it must correspond to:
- the terms of the contract;
- the chosen insurance program;
- the list of insured risks;
- the established limitations and exclusions.
Therefore, the final assessment is made on the basis of the circumstances of the event and the documents.
What Events May Be Insured
Depending on the program, events related to the consequences of an accident may be provided for as insured, for example:
- traumatic injuries;
- bodily injuries;
- temporary disability;
- disability resulting from a covered event;
- death as a result of an accident;
- other consequences provided for in the contract.
The list is not universal for all programs.
The specific insured risks must be checked in your contract.
What to Do in the Event of an Accident
1. Take care of your health
If an injury has occurred or there is a threat to health, the first priority is to seek medical care.
Do not delay seeking care in order to arrange an insurance payment.
2. Record the event
Keep documents and information confirming the circumstances of what happened.
Depending on the situation, these may be medical documents, certificates, and other confirmations.
3. Notify the insurance company
Report the event in the manner and within the time limits provided for by the contract.
The sooner the information is received, the easier it is to organise further interaction.
4. Prepare documents
To review an insured event, a claim and documents confirming the event and its consequences will be required.
The list depends on the specific situation.
5. Wait for the review
After receiving the necessary documents, the insurance company reviews the circumstances of the event and determines whether there are grounds for an insurance payment in accordance with the contract.
What Documents May Be Required
Depending on the nature of the event, the following may be required:
- a claim;
- an identity document;
- the insurance contract details;
- medical certificates;
- reports from medical organisations;
- test results;
- documents confirming the circumstances of the occurrence;
- documents on the consequences of the accident;
- other documents provided for in the contract.
A full list of documents is not required in all cases.
Medical Care and the Insured Event
If an injury is sustained as a result of an accident, it is important to contact a medical facility in a timely manner.
Medical documents may confirm:
- the fact of seeking care;
- the date of seeking care;
- the nature of the injury;
- the diagnosis;
- the treatment provided;
- the consequences of the injury;
- the recovery period.
When contacting a medical organisation, it is recommended to keep the documents received.
Should Any Occurrence Be Reported?
If you believe that the event may relate to insured risks, it is better to notify the insurance company in a timely manner.
It is not always possible to determine on your own whether an event is an insured event.
Specialists will be able to explain the procedure for further actions and the necessary documents.
What Happens After Contacting the Company
After receiving the notification and the necessary documents:
1. The claim is registered.
2. The circumstances of the event are studied.
3. The compliance of the event with the contract terms is checked.
4. The submitted documents are analysed.
5. The existence of grounds for an insurance payment is determined.
6. If grounds exist, the amount of payment is determined in accordance with the contract.
What the Insurance Payment Depends On
The amount of payment depends on the terms of the specific contract.
The review may take into account:
- the nature of the insured event;
- the consequences of the accident;
- the sum insured;
- the terms of the chosen program;
- documents confirming the event;
- the procedure for determining the payment established by the contract.
The insurance payment is not necessarily equal to the full sum insured.
When an Event May Not Be an Insured Event
The insurance contract contains exclusions and limitations.
An event may not be covered if it:
- does not relate to insured risks;
- occurred under circumstances excluded by the contract;
- does not correspond to the terms of the chosen program;
- falls under the exclusions established by the contract;
- is not confirmed by the necessary documents.
The specific grounds are determined by the terms of the relevant contract.
Why It Is Important to Observe Notification Time Limits
The contract may establish time limits and procedures for notifying the insurance company.
Therefore, after an event occurs, it is not recommended to delay contacting the company.
Always refer to the terms of your insurance contract.
Example: Injury as a Result of a Road Accident
The insured person sustained an injury as a result of a road traffic accident.
In such a case, it is necessary to:
- receive medical care;
- record the injury;
- keep medical documents;
- notify the insurance company;
- provide the necessary documents.
The possibility of an insurance payment is determined after reviewing the circumstances of the road accident and checking whether the event complies with the contract terms.
At the same time, accident insurance does not replace OSAGO.
Example: Household Injury
A person sustained an injury in a household situation.
If the relevant risk is provided for in the program and the circumstances correspond to the contract terms, the event may be considered an insured event.
It is necessary to confirm the fact and consequences of the occurrence with the relevant documents.
Example: Sports Injury
In the case of an injury during sports activities, it is necessary to check whether the program applies to the relevant sport.
Certain types of sports activity may have special conditions, limitations, or exclusions.
Therefore, before concluding the contract, it is important to clarify this issue.
Common Mistakes
Not notifying the insurance company in time
Do not delay notification and check the time limits established by the contract.
Not keeping medical documents
Certificates and reports may be important in the review of the event.
Deciding on your own that the case is not insured
Even if the event seems obvious, it is better to get a consultation.
Not reviewing the exclusions
Before concluding the contract, it is necessary to understand not only the list of covered risks but also the limitations.
Submitting an incomplete set of documents
Check the current list of documents for your situation with a specialist.
