Accident Victim

Lump-Sum Indemnity for Aftereffects

There may be aftereffects of bodily injury sustained in an accident such as pain, mental suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, impairment or damage to the appearance.

The amount of compensation varies according to the severity of injuries and their consequences. To establish the amount of the indemnity, an accident victim's medical condition is assessed on the basis of information on file and, where necessary, by one or more specialist physicians who are experts in the field.

Payment is generally made in a single sum. An interim payment may, however, be made before a final assessment of accident-related injury takes place where medical information on file allows this.
