What is not covered by this insurance?

You're also never insured when driving a motorised vehicle. Check out the terms and conditions for a complete overview!
As a FreeFlexer you are never insured for accidents that occur while driving a vehicle over 15.5 mph (i.e. driving a car or a van).
Examples of when you are covered

You had an accident. To be able to treat you, the medical staff cuts up your clothes. Fortunately, these costs are reimbursed.

(Covered: personal belongings and hospital stay)
Examples of when you are not covered

During a shift, you get into an argument with a customer. All of a sudden, the customer lunges at you, and out of sheer anger you fight back. In the end, there are no winners… (Not covered: fights)
It’s a hot summer’s day. After your shift, you and a few colleagues decide to jump off of a bridge into the water to cool down. Unfortunately, you don’t hit the water quite right, and become partially paralised. (Not covered: risky behaviour and outside of working hours and commute)
On your way home you have a car accident. It was quite a blow and you become disabled. You have a permanent loss of function of your leg (Not covered: outside of your working time).
