HUK accident insurance in the test: Well insured in your free time
The essentials in brief:
- Statutory accident insurance only pays for accidents on the way to work, during work and on the way home from work
- private accident insurance provides financial help for accidents in the spare time, the HUK Coburg even for poisoning / allergic reactions and the consequences of a stroke or heart attack
- HUK Coburg accident insurance grants benefits from 1% disability, for example in the form of a disability pension or the assumption of costs for cosmetic operations, handicapped-friendly renovations of the house or domestic help
- Accident Plus module doubles the cost coverage of the individual services and offers an immediate payment in the amount of € 1,500 for broken bones
Unfortunately, it is a misconception that statutory accident insurance covers the costs of an accident. Only if the accident occurred during work, on the way to work or on the way home, is the insurance coverage provided by the statutory accident insurance. This means that there is no insurance cover in the free time and even the self-employed, the elderly or the housewife who does not have any professional activity has no claim to benefits after an accident.
Anyone who needs financial assistance after an accident should take out private accident insurance for themselves and the family
