Part I"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In today's post, I will address the claims to which a person injured in an accident is entitled. When applying for&nbsp;<strong>compensation from the perpetrator's liability insurance<\/strong>&nbsp;We are often unaware of what we can claim. The following post will only deal with claims relating to&nbsp;<strong>personal injury<\/strong>, I will refer to claims relating to property damaged in an accident in my next post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Various benefits are available to the injured party for damage to persons, primarily:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u2022\u00a0<strong>Compensation<\/strong>\u00a0- is a one-off benefit intended to alleviate the victim's physical and mental suffering, both present and future.\u00a0<strong>Amount of compensation<\/strong>\u00a0is determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into account in particular circumstances such as the nature of the injury and the extent of the associated physical and mental suffering, the degree of disability, the feeling of incapacity, the need for support from relatives. In some situations, the amount of compensation may be reduced. This is the case if the injured person himself contributes to the injury or increases its extent. This could be the case, for example, if the person was driving without wearing a seat belt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2022\u00a0<strong>Reimbursement of costs related to treatment and possible preparation for a new profession.<\/strong><strong>Treatment costs<\/strong>\u00a0are not only the costs of purchased medicines or rehabilitation treatments. The injured person is also entitled to claim reimbursement of the costs of travelling to treatments, following a special diet prescribed by a doctor, costs of necessary care from third parties during treatment and rehabilitation, costs of rehabilitation equipment or equipment necessary for treatment. Insurance companies often try to reduce these costs by pointing out that rehabilitation treatments or visits to specialist clinics are reimbursed by the National Health Fund, however, in a situation where the waiting period for services provided by the National Health Fund is exceptionally long and the injured person's state of health indicates the need for immediate treatment, it is reasonable to use private surgeries and medical facilities, and the insurer should reimburse these costs. A person who, as a result of an accident, has become permanently incapable of exercising his or her previous profession may claim coverage for the costs of preparing for a new profession.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2022\u00a0<strong>Reimbursement of earnings lost as a result of the accident and subsequent treatment<\/strong>\u00a0- these are the sums which the injured person would have received if he or she had not been injured. It is important to note that this benefit is not only available to those with an employment contract, but also to contractors as well as those working under a contract for specific work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2022\u00a0<strong>Pension<\/strong>\u00a0- benefit, which can vary in nature. A distinction is made between an increased needs pension where there is a need for ongoing treatment or care.\u00a0<strong>Supplementary pension<\/strong>, if the injured person has partially or totally lost his or her earning capacity or if his or her needs have increased or his or her future prospects have diminished. And also\u00a0<strong>maintenance pension<\/strong>, which the relatives of the injured party who died as a result of the accident are entitled to.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to obtain the above personal injury benefits, it is necessary to provide the relevant evidence, certificates, receipts, justifying the basis for compensation and the amount of compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we are not satisfied with the decision of the insurance company, we can claim higher amounts or additional benefits in court proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Do you need additional legal assistance?
