The same applies to schoolchildren.<\/p>\n<p>In general, employees and students are insured on journeys that are suitable for reaching their place of work and school or home as quickly and safely as possible. This does not generally mean the shortest route, but the direct route to or from the place of work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-605e6e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"605e6e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 id=\"2\">When must a commuting accident be reported?<\/h2>\n\n<p>The employer must notify the employers\u2019 liability insurance association of a commuting accident by submitting an accident report no later than three days after becoming aware of it. In the case of employees, the employer must report the accident if the insured person is unable to work for more than three calendar days. The relevant provision is Section 193 of Book VII of the Social Code (SGB VII).<\/p>\n<p>In the event of accidents at school or on the way to school, an accident report must be filed if medical treatment is required.
