Mujugun to Enroll All Residents in Group Bicycle Insurance Starting Next Year

7 Types of Coverage Including Bicycle Accident Death, Aftereffects, and Bicycle Accident Fines

[Muju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Muju County announced on the 21st that it plans to enroll all residents in a "bicycle group insurance" starting from 2022.

Accordingly, residents registered in Muju County will be able to receive insurance benefits for bicycle-related accidents anywhere nationwide for one year from the date of enrollment.

The insurance benefits will cover a total of seven types, including death from bicycle accidents, permanent disability, bicycle accident diagnosis consolation money, bicycle accident injury hospitalization consolation money, bicycle accident fines, bicycle accident attorney fees, and bicycle traffic accident support funds.

For example, in the event of death from a bicycle accident, coverage will be up to 5 million KRW, and attorney fees will be covered up to 2 million KRW, which is expected to reduce the burden caused by bicycle accidents and encourage more bicycle users.

A Muju County official said, "By enrolling in the insurance, all residents can ride bicycles anywhere nationwide without anxiety about accidents," adding, "We expect an increase in the number of bicycle users and the rate of bicycle use, and we will also strive to expand bicycle road infrastructure within the county."
