BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 3. Insurance payments
will be paid not based on the determination of the insured's
disability, but according to the degree of loss of professional
ability to work in Azerbaijan.
This issue is reflected in the draft law on amendments to the
law "On compulsory insurance against loss of professional ability
to work as a result of accidents in production and occupational
diseases", which is on the agenda of the meeting of the
Parliament's Labor and Social Policy Committee held in a
videoconference format today.
Thus, according to the relevant article of the law, the degree
of loss of professional ability to work is an expression of the
percentage of the continuous loss of professional ability to work
that the insured had before the occurrence of the insured
event.
In this regard, in order to assess the payment of insurance
compensation for an insured event according to a single criterion,
it is proposed to link the lump-sum insurance payment not with the
determination of the disability of the insured person who suffered
as a result of the insured event, but with the degree of loss of
professional ability.
That is, the lump-sum insurance payment will be made when the
degree of loss of professional ability of the insured person who
suffered as a result of the insured event is determined, without
specifying the next examination period.
Loss of professional ability also includes the determination of
disability, that is, the loss of body functions.
