Occupational Accident Insurance provides financial protection for employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their work. This type of insurance covers medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages due to work-related accidents or illnesses. It is designed to supplement workers’ compensation insurance by covering additional benefits that may not be included in standard policies.
For example, if a factory worker sustains a serious injury while operating machinery, occupational accident insurance can cover the cost of their medical treatment, provide income replacement during their recovery, and offer compensation for any long-term disability. This insurance helps ensure that workers are financially supported and can focus on their recovery without the added stress of medical and income-related concerns.
