Many families in Dubai rely on domestic help. Whether you have a full-time maid, a driver, or a gardener, these individuals are part of your household. But what happens if they get hurt while cleaning the windows or driving the kids to school? This is a major liability risk that many owners forget. At CoverB, we always recommend adding “Domestic Worker Cover” to your property insurance in dubai.
The Legal and Ethical Responsibility
In Dubai, you are legally responsible for the safety of the staff you sponsor. If an accident happens in your home, the medical bills can be very high. A standard health insurance policy might not cover work-related accidents. By adding this to your property all risk insurance coverage, you ensure that your staff is cared for and your bank account is protected from sudden medical or legal costs.
What Does it Actually Cover?
This add-on isn’t just about band-aids. It usually covers:
- Medical Expenses: For injuries occurring inside the home.
- Repatriation Costs: In the tragic event of a death or permanent disability.
- Legal Liability: If a worker sues for negligence.
- Replacement Costs: Helping you with the fees to hire a new worker if yours has to leave due to injury.
A Small Cost for Big Protection
Most people are surprised to learn that adding this to your property all risk insurance is very cheap. It often costs less than AED 200 extra per year. When you think about the peace of mind it gives both you and your staff, it is one of the smartest upgrades you can make. At CoverB, we believe a happy home is a safe home for everyone.
