Time out from your job or temporarily unemployed?

Are you planning a break, for example for unpaid leave? If you want to continue to be comprehensively protected in the event of an accident, the insurance by special agreement  is the right choice for you. This allows you to extend your insurance coverage for non-occupational accidents, which you previously enjoyed via your employer on a compulsory basis, by a maximum of 6 months.
