If you are injured
Work injury insurance (TFA, TFA-KL, PSA) applies from the first day of employment. The insurance may entitle you to compensation in the event of an occupational accident, a travel accident on the way to or from work, or in the event of occupational disease. All three cases are called work injuries.
How do I know whether I have insurance?
Nine out of ten wage-earners in Sweden have work injury insurance with us, so there is a good chance that you are one of them.
When are you eligible for insurance compensation?
You can apply for compensation if you

fall ill due to your work
are the victim of threats, violence or robbery.
