Protection

The group accident insurance taken out by the OGBL with Bâloise Assurances entitles members to benefit in the event of an accident in private life, declared to the OGBL (e-mail to affiliation@ogbl.lu or letter to Service Gestion des Membres – 31, avenue G.D. Charlotte – L-3441 Dudelange) by submitting the form within 8 days, of a sum of €3,750 in the event of the member’s death and in the event of disability of more than 10% of a maximum sum of €13,500. In the event of death by accident, a death certificate must be attached to the declaration.

This insurance is valid throughout the world and covers accidents suffered by the insured person in the course of his/her private life, not occurring during a professional or paid activity or on the way to work. The practice of sports is included in the insurance, except for air sports in all their forms, participation in and preparation for cycle races and motor vehicle competitions.

The insurance is extended to the accidental death of dependent children, unless they are themselves members of the OGBL. The amount payable is however limited to half.

If an accident causes the death of the insured within two years, the death benefit is paid.

If the same accident causes the death of the insured and his/her spouse, the amount due to dependent children is doubled.

If an accident is initially reported as an accident at work but is subsequently not recognised as such and is then reported without delay as an accident in private life, it is considered to have been reported on time.
