Which Accidents Does Personal Accident Insurance Cover?

Personal accident insurance is protection that an insurer gives the insured against the risk of accidents during a set coverage period. The length of coverage therefore depends on the agreement between the insurer and the insured (the policyholder). In Indonesia, personal accident insurance falls under the category of general insurance.

Unlike life insurance, which focuses only on the risk of death, personal accident insurance offers broader protection. The benefits it provides cover permanent disability, treatment costs from workplace accidents, and the risk of death.

So who can buy personal accident insurance?

This insurance can be bought by people who work at a company (a government agency or a private one) and are aged 17 to 60. It can be bought individually, but also by groups and companies.

Are all types of accidents covered?

Personal accident insurance cannot be assumed to cover accidents in the everyday sense. The types of accidents that fall under this coverage are:

• The accident was not deliberate or staged.
• It covers all kinds of accidents, whether inside the company or outside it (traffic accidents), as long as they are related to work.
• Accidents caused by physical violence or impact that result in minor or severe disability, or even death. Harm from chemicals and poisoning are also types of accidents that fall under coverage.
• The accident is direct. In other words, it affects the insured's body and there is no other contributing factor that could make the outcome worse.

There may be other types of accidents that do not meet the criteria above but are agreed on between the insurer and the insured. This means the types of accidents that are or are not covered depend on the policy of the insurer concerned.
