Accident insurance the Netherlands
An accident insurance is designed to provide financial protection in the event of an unforeseen accident or injury. It provides coverage for specific injuries or accidents that you or covered family members may sustain.
What does Accident insurance cover?
Being insured means you enjoy financial protection in case of an accident. You receive a predetermined amount if you become permanently disabled due to an accident, or you are entitled to reimbursement of medical or dental expenses resulting from an accident.
This applies to accidents at home, outside your home, and in traffic, both within and outside the Netherlands. Your family members are also covered if they are insured according to the specified household composition. In addition, occupants of your car, bicycle, motorbike, and moped are insured.
The insurance covers dental and medical expenses resulting from an accident. 'Accident' also includes:
- Poisoning
- Contamination from involuntarily falling into water
- Injury from involuntary ingestion of substances or objects
- Sudden tearing or dislocation of muscles, ligaments, or tendons
- Freezing, burns, drowning, suffocation, sunstroke, heatstroke
- Exhaustion, starvation, dehydration, or sunburn due to isolation, such as in shipwreck or natural disaster
- Wound infection and blood poisoning as a result of an accident
