Goseong-gun, Gyeongnam Enrolls All Residents in Citizen Safety Insurance

Social Disaster Deaths, Hit-and-Run Uninsured Vehicle Deaths Added

Goseong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, has enrolled in the 2023 Citizen Safety Insurance to minimize damage to residents from various unexpected disasters and accidents in daily life.

Since the initial insurance enrollment in 2018, Goseong-gun Citizen Safety Insurance has been renewed annually on a one-year basis. All residents registered in Goseong-gun at the time of the accident (including foreigners) are covered without any separate enrollment procedures.

Goseong County Office, Gyeongnam.

Especially this year, the Citizen Safety Insurance has added coverage for social disaster death, hit-and-run uninsured vehicle death, and injury aftereffects, and increased the coverage amount for agricultural machinery accident injury death and injury aftereffects to 30 million KRW.

This year, there are a total of 28 coverage items, and Goseong residents are covered regardless of whether they have other insurance, no matter where in the country the accident occurs.

Insurance benefits are paid after the insured or legal heirs submit a claim form, resident registration certificate, and other supporting documents to the insurance company, which then conducts an accident investigation and review.

For any other inquiries related to the insurance, please contact the Korea Local Finance Association or the Safety Management Division of Goseong-gun.

Yoon Kyung-byeong, head of the Safety Management Division, said, “We hope this will serve as a social safety net for residents who suffer from unexpected disasters and accidents. We will continue to do our best to establish this as an effective safety system for residents through ongoing promotion so that Goseong residents can live with peace of mind.”
