personal injury compensation – which types
No victim wants to become an expert in personal injury compensation. What compensation is possible for personal injury is therefore a very logical question.
Various types of damages are eligible for compensation in personal injury cases. The amount depends on the situation and the severity of the injury. Below are some common types of damages:
Examples of personal injury compensation (material damages):
- Direct financial loss resulting from the injury. These include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, loss of income, travel expenses, and home modifications. These are costs that you cannot claim from your own health insurer or that fall under your deductible, for example.
- Future damages: If the injury is long-term or permanent, future damages may also occur, such as loss of income and costs for future medical treatments.
- Domestic help. Due to the injury, the victim is (temporarily) unable to perform household tasks. The personal injury expert requests compensation for the costs of domestic help.
- Loss of self-reliance. If the victim is no longer able to perform DIY tasks or maintenance around the house due to the injury. In that case, compensation can be requested for the costs of hiring a third party.
- Study delay. If the injury causes the victim to suffer a delay in their studies, the costs of extra study hours or the study delay itself can be compensated.
- Reintegration costs. If the victim wants to return to work after the injury, the costs of reintegration (such as retraining or workplace adjustments) can be compensated.
A financial-legal specialist collects all this information with you and calculates the compensation in relation to the personal injury. The personal injury expert discusses these damages with the other party's insurer and negotiates fair compensation.
Personal injury compensation (non-material damages):
- This is also known as pain and suffering. It includes compensation for the pain, sorrow, fear, and other non-material damage that the victim has suffered or will suffer as a result of the injury.
Every personal injury case is unique, and compensation depends on the specific circumstances of the case. An expert from Letsolv will calculate in detail what the compensation should be. This guidance is free of charge for the victim.
