The insurance period is one year, from June 1, 2023, to May 31, 2024, and any Damyang resident who causes damage to others while operating an electric assistive device can file a claim within three years from the date of the accident.


Claims can be made using the insurance company's dedicated consultation phone line, and there is no limit to the number of claims, so claims can be made for every accident.



County Governor Lee Byung-no said, "As the use of electric scooters and electric wheelchairs increases, so do accidents," and added, "We expect that supporting liability insurance for electric assistive devices will help guarantee the mobility rights of operators and alleviate their economic burden."
