The total of 6,671 accidents reported in 2019 are 2.2 percent above the number of the previous year. As the Statistical Office has calculated, an annual decrease of 0.2 percent per year is shown for the period of the past ten years, but the number of accidents has increased again since 2015 with 6193 accidents. The quotient of 193 accidents per 1,000 insured employees calculated for 2019 has been stable for three years and is the lowest value in the multi-year analysis since 2010.
In 2019, just under a third of accidents, 29.1 percent, were occupational accidents and 70.9 percent, around two thirds, were leisure accidents (including accidents in voluntary insurance). Compared to the previous year, insurance companies spent CHF 4504 per accident in 2019, 3.1 percent less than in the previous year. “This decrease is part of the ten-year trend, for which an average of 1.4 percent less per accident is calculated per year,” wrote the Office of Statistics. The total benefits for accidents, which are estimated at CHF 30.0 million in 2019, have been relatively stable over the past four years with an average of CHF 30.2 million.
