Statutory accident insurance generally covers the medical costs of an occupational accident and, in addition, accident-related costs such as patient transport and/or long-term sequelae such as compensation for permanent physical impairment, social aids such as transition payments during the first phase after an accident, nursing needs or retraining in the event of occupational disability, including a disability pension. The scope of the benefits provided depends on the insurance contracts. Generally, a distinction is made between occupational accidents and recreational accidents.
