2 Insurance cover

2.1 Personal injury cover

In the event of personal injury through accident, which struck the insured during the term of insurance, reimbursement is paid for personal injury pursuant to Chapter 5 Sections 1 and 2 of the Tort Liability Act (1972:207) as if liability to pay damages had existed. With regard to reimbursement for loss of income, the rules on calculation of an annuity basis in Chapter 41 Sections 8-18 of the Social Insurance Code (2010:110) are thereby applied. These rules regarding loss of income are not applied upon sickness absences that are shorter than 31 days.

Reimbursement for personal injury pursuant to Chapter 5 Sections 1 and 2 of the Tort Liability Act covers, among other things, medical care costs, loss of income, pain and suffering and disfigurement or another lasting disability. The reimbursement pursuant to Section 1 in the aforementioned section of law also covers burial costs, loss of maintenance and personal injury for the person who was especially close to the deceased.

Personal injury in connection with assault is compensated insofar as the insured did not, within the time that is reasonable considering the injury and the need for reimbursement, receive damages from the perpetrator, his/her insurance company or another, although no later than within three years after the report to Kammarkollegiet. If the insured was negligent, the reimbursement can be adjusted.

Reimbursement for violation is not paid.

In the event of dental injury through accident, necessary and reasonable costs for dental care are compensated. For implant treatment or cap veneers, reimbursement is provided only on condition that the treatment is of such a nature as is compensated by the public dental care insurance. The insured shall contact Kammarkollegiet for a reasonability assessment before the treatment is begun. The insurance only provides reimbursement for one (1) permanent treatment. Injury upon chewing or biting is not considered an accidental injury and is not compensated according to this item.

If a dental injury is a work-related injury, the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan) may compensate the dental care costs.

Assault shall be immediately reported to the police authority in the city of the crime. The insured must present a certificate of such a report. If Kammarkollegiet so requests, the insured must file a claim for damages against the perpetrator. Kammarkollegiet is thereby responsible towards the insured for all costs that are not compensated by another party.

The insured must observe normal care, meaning if possible avoid dangerous places and situations and otherwise do what can reasonably be required to avoid being struck by assault or other injury. In the event of negligence, the reimbursement is normally reduced to half if the circumstances do not show that the negligence was minor or of minor significance to the insurance case. If the negligence was particularly serious, the reimbursement may be forfeit entirely. The same applies if the insured was affected by alcohol, sleeping medicine, narcotics or other intoxicants or committed an intentional act that under Swedish law could lead to at least income-based fines.

2.2 Disability and death benefits

In the event of an accident that leads to a medical disability, disability reimbursement is paid in relation to the degree of medical disability. In the event of a medical disability of 100 per cent, the reimbursement is 22 times the statutory base amount. In the calculation, the statutory base amount for the year the disability is established is used. The amount is disbursed as soon as the definitive degree of disability has been able to be established. If this has not been able to take place within one year from the accident, a preliminary amount is disbursed in relation to the lowest degree of lasting disability the accident is deemed to give rise to. Final settlement thereafter takes place as soon as the definitive degree of disability has been established. If this has not been possible to take place within three years after the accident, a final settlement is made according to the then assessed degree of disability. Possibly surplus preliminary amounts are not demanded back.

If an accident leads to death within three years, a death compensation is disbursed. If the insured has not prepared a special beneficiary provision for the insurance, the spouse or cohabitating partner and children under the age of 20 or - if such relatives do not exist - legal heirs are beneficiaries.

If one of the survivors is the spouse or cohabitating partner or if at least one of the survivors is the insured’s children under the age of 20, the amount is 11 times the statutory base amounts.

If there are both spouse or cohabitating partner and children under the age of 20 among the survivors, the amount is 22 times the statutory base amounts.

Otherwise, it is six times the statutory base amounts.

In the calculation, the statutory base amount for the year of death is used. From the death reimbursement, what has been disbursed as disability reimbursement is deducted when applicable.

If the spouse or cohabitating partner and children are beneficiaries, half of the insurance amount shall go to the spouse or cohabitating partner and the remainder to the insured’s children.

If a case of divorce was under way at the time of death, the spouse is not a beneficiary.

If the person who may be covered by the insurance wants other beneficiaries than those stated above, a special beneficiary provision must be prepared. The amounts stated above, depending on the circle of survivors, can be distributed in the manner the insured indicates in the beneficiary provision. Forms for this are proved by Kammarkollegiet. A prepared provision shall immediately be submitted to Kammarkollegiet for storage.

2.3 Visits by a close relative

Upon the insured’s death, life-threatening injury or life-threatening illness, reasonable costs are reimbursed for a maximum of three close relatives’ travel and lodging in connection with visits. The same applies in connection with burial abroad. If the close relatives are in a country other than Sweden, the insurance may reimburse the travel costs corresponding to what a journey from Sweden would have cost. The illness or death, respectively, must be confirmed with a medical certificate or death certificate.

2.4 Travel to a close relative

The insurance reimburses reasonable additional costs for a return trip to Sweden in the event of the life-threatening illness/death of a close relative. The insurance is limited to one (1) journey per relative’s life-threatening illness and/or death. Travel to and from the airport in the country of service can be compensated if the journey is taken with public transport. Costs in Sweden are not reimbursed.

If the close relatives are in a country other than Sweden, the insurance may reimburse travel costs corresponding to what a journey to Sweden would have cost. Costs in a third country are not reimbursed.

The illness or death, respectively, must be confirmed with a medical certificate or death certificate.

2.5 Medical, dental and home transport cover

The insurance reimburses necessary, reasonable and verified costs for emergency medical care or dental care abroad when the insured, during the stay abroad, is struck by illness or accident. For every event, such costs are reimbursed for a maximum of a period of 90 days from the first contact with the care provider.

Any additional costs (such as room and board, rebooking of tickets) are not reimbursed.

The insurance also reimburses dental injuries through accidents that occur during the term of insurance in Sweden.

Reimbursement is provided according to the provisions below.

2.5.1 Medical care

Reimbursement is provided for necessary, reasonable and verified costs for emergency medical care abroad. The insurance does not reimburse costs for maternity care, health checks, vaccinations or other planned care.

Limitation

2.5.2 Dental care

Reimbursement is provided for necessary, reasonable and verified costs for emergency dental care abroad.

If a dental injury has occurred through an accident, necessary and reasonable costs are reimbursed for continued treatment in Sweden of the dental injury during a maximum of three years from the date of injury if the costs is not reimbursed by another party. Both treatment and costs must be approved in advance by Kammarkollegiet.

If a dental injury is a work-related injury, the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan) shall primarily review the issue of compensation. Thereafter, Kammarkollegiet decides if the dental injury can be reimbursed according to this item.

Limitation

In the event of a dental injury that arose when chewing or biting, reimbursement is provided only for the emergency treatment performed abroad.

Permanent crowns, bridges or implants are not reimbursed.

2.5.3 Home transport

The insurance also reimburses return travel to the country of service. The insurance also reimburses the cost for home transport to Sweden of the deceased.

Note on 2.5

Sweden currently has agreements on medical benefits with the Nordic countries, with other countries in the EU and with some convention countries. In these countries, the public healthcare shall primarily be used.

Anyone who is to travel to a country in the EU or to another convention country should bring with a certificate from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan) that shows that he or she belongs to it, so that he or she is certain to receive care according to the EU rules or according to the convention, i.e. without other costs than a possible patient fee.

Anyone who is to travel to a non-convention country should take with a personal insurance card (Medical Insurance Card). A basis for such cards is provided by Kammarkollegiet and issued by the respective authority. The purpose of the card is for the insured to quickly gain access to emergency medical care by the healthcare institution being able to immediately confirm that there is an insurance policy that covers the costs.

Regulation to 2.5

In the event of illness, comprehensive personal injury, admission to hospital, need for home transport or another active injury assistance abroad, contact shall be made with Falck Global Assistance.

Tel: +46 8 587 717 49Fax: +46 8 505 939 13E-mail: fga@se.falck.com

If Falck Global Assistance recommends a home transport to Sweden or evacuation to a third country and the insured objects to this, Kammarkollegiet may refuse compensation for continued care abroad for the illness/personal injury concerned.

The insurance does not cover emergency medical care in the country where the insured is a citizen or is resident. If the insured does not have access to healthcare benefits in that country, the insurance applies.

Anyone who falls ill upon a temporary visit in a different EU/EEA country or Switzerland shall submit an application to the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan), which reviews if it involved such care for which compensation can be paid. Receipts and other documentation of the care shall be appended to the application. Kammarkollegiet has the right to request an authorisation from the insured, which includes applying for compensation afterwards for healthcare costs in a different EU/EEA country and receiving such compensation on the insured’s behalf.

2.6 Delayed luggage

Upon more than two hours’ delay of checked luggage upon outbound travel, necessary and reasonable costs are reimbursed by a maximum of SEK 5,000. Outbound travel for the employee and accompanying family members refers to travel from the country of service.

Regulation

The insured must present a certification of the delay from the transport company. The transport company’s liability, commitments or offers shall primarily be requested and utilised.

2.7 Liability cover

If the insured is subject to claim of damages due to an event that occurred abroad during the term of insurance and is related to the activities that gave rise to the insurance being taken out, Kammarkollegiet commits towards the insured to:

1.Investigate whether liability for damages exists.

2.Negotiate with the counterparty.

3.Represent the insured in legal or arbitration proceedings and thereby pay the legal or arbitration costs that the insured incurs or is liable to pay and that cannot be obtained from the counter party or other.

4.Pay the damages the insured according to current law of torts is obliged to pay, although no more than SEK 5,000,000.

However, the insurance applies for damage claims from a third party other than the car hire firm/car owner against the insured as a driver abroad of a car hired or borrowed there, insofar as the claim is not covered by the car’s traffic insurance or another corresponding insurance.

Regulation

Kammarkollegiet is not bound by the insured in advance committing to compensate any damage, admitting to liability to pay damages or approves reimbursement requirements. If a claim is presented, the insured shall refer of the liability insurance with Kammarkollegiet. The insured should note name, address and phone number of witnesses and others who can provide information about what occurred.

2.8 Legal expenses cover

If the insured as a private person demands damages from somebody due to an event that occurred during the term of insurance and is related to the activity that gave rise to the insurance being taken out, the insured’s reasonable costs for counsel are reimbursed if they cannot be paid by the counterparty or another or through public legal aid.
