Accident Insurance

The Unfallkasse Hessen is a provider of statutory accident insurance for the public sector and has the task of covering employees and employers in the event of accidents at work or occupational diseases.

The insured persons are insured by law against accidents and against the consequences and risks of health hazards at work or on the way to work.


The insurance coverage is non-contributory for the insured employees. The contributions are paid solely by our member companies.


This exempts them from civil liability towards their employees in the event of an accident at work or an occupational disease.
