Cost & Insurance
Q. If a car accident occurs during business travel or commute, do both industrial and auto insurance apply?
A.
Yes, you can choose which insurance to apply — typically industrial offers better coverage.
📝 Detailed Answer
Dual coverage situation (commute/business travel accident): ① accident during commute or business travel may qualify as industrial accident, ② also auto insurance applies, ③ patient/family chooses which to apply, ④ industrial insurance often more comprehensive (longer treatment, no fault consideration), ⑤ cannot double-claim — choose one. Talk to workers compensation counselor for guidance. Korean medicine clinic accepts both insurance types — focus on getting appropriate treatment.
