Jessica (aged 37) falls off a ladder while picking apples and damages the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee.
She has to have surgery to repair the damage to her knee. Jessica is off work for two months after the operation. Despite the surgery, her knee is still painful when she puts pressure on it, she feels insecure and suffers from reduced mobility.
In connection with the fall, she also broke her glasses (purchased for SEK 8,000 two and a half years ago).
Fortunately, Jessica has taken out accidental death and dismemberment insurance, which covered a large part of her expenses. The policy has an insurance sum of 30 price base amounts, equivalent to SEK 1,719,000 in 2024.

Group agreement
A group agreement is an agreement concluded between Euro Accident (the insurance provider) and a representative of a group – an employer, for example – concerning insurance for the members of the group. The group agreement states, for instance, which insurance policies the group members hold or can choose.
Medical invalidity
Medical invalidity refers to a chronic reduction of a bodily function as the consequence of an injury from an accident.
Accidental injury
Accidental injury refers to a bodily injury that the insured person suffers as the result of a sudden, involuntary and unforeseen external incident.
In this context “unforeseen incident” does not apply to complaints or difficulties the insured person was taking medicine and/or being treated for before suffering the accidental injury.
Accidental injury is also taken to apply to bodily injury caused by frostbite, heat stroke or sunburn, as well as to infection from a tick bite. Such bodily injuries are considered to have occurred on the day they appear. Accidental injury is also taken to apply to bodily injury caused by sudden torsional stress on the knee, or bodily injury comprising a ruptured Achilles’ tendon, detached retina, sudden deafness, heart attack or stroke.
Price base amount
The price base amount is the amount calculated on the basis of the changes in the general price level pursuant to the provisions of the Social Insurance Code (SFS 2010:110). Calculations are performed on the basis of changes in the consumer price index and set by the government for a whole calendar year.
