Accident and Compensation Law

People who are involved in an accident report the personal injury to the relevant insurance company. We assist injured parties in reporting the injury if this has not already been done.

We request certificates/medical records from the healthcare institution that the injured party first visits following the accident.

After the initial documents are received, we send them to the relevant insurance company. The insurance company then takes a position on liability in the case.

Once the insurance company has accepted liability, it becomes possible to request reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses related to the accident, such as medical visits, physiotherapy, and prescription medications.

Once the insurance company has accepted liability, data collection is put on hold until a certain stability point is reached. Typically, data collection begins approximately 10 months after the accident date.

When the stability point is reached and it becomes clear whether the injured party experiences permanent consequences from the injury, further data collection begins. Final documents are then requested from the healthcare providers the injured party has consulted regarding the accident.

When final documents have been received regarding the personal injury, a data bank is prepared for assessors who evaluate the permanent consequences of the accident. This prepares the work for the assessors before the assessment meeting. The entire assessment process takes approximately 6 months.

We handle submitting the compensation claim based on the assessment. Most often, an agreement is reached on compensation payment between the relevant insurance company and us, but if not, our lawyers proceed with litigation.
