Compensation Law
A compensation claim requires an assessment of the event, harm, causation, fault and any contract or insurance relationship. Traffic accidents, workplace accidents and infringements of personality rights may follow different legal routes.
The initial review draws on incident records, medical documents, payment information and correspondence.
What does this cover?
The type of harm, basis of liability and insurance or social-security relationship are assessed separately. The same person is not liable in every case, and both types of compensation do not arise in every incident.
- Traffic accidents and insurance
- Workplace accident claims
- Material and non-material harm
- Tort and breach of contract
- Proof of loss and causation
- Routes and time limits
How do we approach the matter?
Establish a chronology and compare incident reports, medical, employment, insurance and payment records. Select the appropriate application, negotiation, mediation or court route and check the applicable periods.

Frequently asked questions
01Are material and non-material damages the same claim?
No. Economic loss and harm to legally protected personality interests require separate assessment. Both do not arise in every event.
02Which documents matter after a traffic accident?
Accident and police records, vehicle and insurance details, medical reports, treatment costs, lost earnings records and correspondence may be relevant. Liability and loss depend on the facts.
03Are workplace accident compensation and social-security benefits the same?
No. Social-security processes and claims against an employer or another responsible party have different conditions. Accident reports, employment and medical records and fault are assessed together.
04How can I document my loss?
Reports, invoices, receipts, medical records, income documents and dated messages may matter. The connection between the event and the loss is as important as the amount.
05Does every compensation claim have the same limitation period?
No. The basis of the claim and special rules can change the period. Event and knowledge dates, and any suspension or interruption, require case-specific review.
06Is an insurance application the same as a court claim?
No. Coverage, respondent and any prior-application requirement depend on the claim. The policy, claim file and payments help establish any remaining demand and route.
