Accident and sickness

Accident and sickness insurance can be taken out either by an individual or a corporate entity. 

Where a corporate entity takes out a group accident and sickness policy to cover its staff the risk location is the territory in which the insured’s business is established. However, if individual employees are parties to the contract, i.e. they can independently make claims under the contract, the risk location is the territory or territories in which the employees are resident.

Where an individual takes out an accident and sickness policy the risk location is the territory in which the insured is resident.

If the contract covers more than one individual insured, and the insured persons are resident in more than one territory, it will have more than one risk location. Likewise, it will have more than one risk location if it is taken out by a corporate entity and covers employees at business establishments in more than one territory.

Personal accident for crew 

A personal accident for crew policy is taken out by owners or operators of aircraft or vessels to cover their employees. 

The risk location is determined in the same manner as accident and sickness insurance above. 

Permanent health insurance 

Permanent health insurance provides fixed term benefits to an insured in the event that they cannot work for a period of time or their employment is terminated due to illness or accident. This insurance may be taken out by an individual or by a corporate entity to cover its staff.  If the benefit is paid for more than 60 months it is long term business and must be written in the life market.

The risk location is determined in the same manner as individual or accident and sickness insurance above.
