date that has been determined
Explanation:
As I understand this, you know when the accident occurred (or at least about when it occurred). THat's important, because you haven't been covered since the beginning of time.

The explanation given by the colleague lexical is correct, but I don't share the reservations about the literal translation. If you'd rather not use a literal translation, as shown in the example, you may use "specific date".

Notes to answerer
Asker: I quite often do insurance translations; however, I am not familiar with "characterized date." What does "data caracterizada" mean in Portuguese? Not the translation - what does it mean? Thanks - Mike :)
