Occupational Accident and Desease Insurance

Your contribution rate for occupational accidents and deseases varies every year. Our teams can help you optimize these expenses.

The main risks associated with this product include all the physical and psychological pathologies that can occur in a professional context:

To secure your company's results and preserve your cash flow, it is essential to cover yourself against the risks associated with your social liabilities and your legal defense by insuring your occupational accidents and illnesses contribution rate.

Insurance contracts

Our insurance policies can cover the financial consequences of permanent disability equal to or greater than 10%, as well as death resulting from an industrial accident or occupational disease, thus protecting your cash flow.
Let's take the example of a company's employer's account for the 2024 financial year, where a victim of an accident at work has been awarded a permanent partial disability rate of 70%.

This claim will have an impact on the company's occupational accidents and illnesses contribution rates from 2026 to 2031, and even beyond. The excess premium generated by this claim may be covered by the insurer, depending on the terms and conditions of the insurance policy taken out (cover taken out, whether or not a contractual deductible applies, presence of other covered claims, etc.).

If you take out an insurance policy, the fees invoiced to you by a law firm in connection with a covered claim may be covered by the insurer up to the limit set by the insurance policy.
