Any person performing a salaried activity for more than 8 hours a week in Switzerland is covered by an accident insurance (LAA) scheme, which covers damage sustained in the event of an illness or accident of an occupational or private nature.

LAA insurance provides more comprehensive coverage of occupational and private accidents than the CHIS. Any request for the reimbursement of associated costs must be submitted in the first instance to this insurance scheme because the amount reimbursed will be greater.

Please provide us with a certificate showing the name of your insurance provider, as this will make it easy for UNIQA to liaise with them, if necessary.
