Nationwide Top-Level Maximum Limit of 20 Million KRW

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] It has been revealed that through the 'Daegu Citizen Safety Insurance' implemented since February last year, insurance payments totaling 240 million KRW were paid to 28 Daegu citizens this year.

According to Daegu City on the 30th, the citizen safety insurance covers eight items: death caused by natural disasters, injury death or aftereffects caused by explosion, fire, collapse, or landslide, injury death or aftereffects while using public transportation, injury death or aftereffects from robbery crimes, and treatment expenses for injuries from school zone traffic accidents.

In the second year of implementation this year, fire death insurance payments of 90 million KRW were given to five citizens due to fires occurring in villas, explosion and fire aftereffect disability insurance payments of 23 million KRW were given to four citizens due to house fires and dryer explosion accidents, and injury treatment expenses of 60 million KRW were provided to three children injured in school zone traffic accidents.

Insurance payments of 67 million KRW were paid to 16 people who suffered aftereffects from public transportation accidents. As a result, as of December, 28 citizens received insurance benefits totaling approximately 240 million KRW.

Regarding these insurances, there were 23 cases amounting to 184 million KRW due to accidents last year. Since insurance claims can be made within three years from the date of the accident, applications are expected to continue coming in.

Daegu Citizen Safety Insurance automatically enrolls all citizens registered as residents in Daegu City without any separate insurance premium burden or subscription procedures, and all 2.47 million citizens, including registered foreigners, can benefit.

Kim Young-ae, Director of the Daegu City Citizen Safety Office, emphasized, "Citizen Safety Insurance is an advanced safety welfare system that helps citizens quickly return to daily life after suffering damage from unexpected disasters or accidents in everyday life," and added, "We will continue to actively promote effective safety policies."
