The Federal Court of Justice has determined how the amount of compensation to which victims of traffic accidents are entitled is to be determined. Here you can find out what needs to be taken into account and how you can enforce your claims.
Flat-rate calculation not permitted
Traffic accidents regularly injure the people involved. The accident victims are then entitled to compensation for pain and suffering from the person who caused the accident and the vehicle insurance company.
With its decision of February 15, 2022, the Federal Court of Justice made it clear that the amount of the compensation for pain and suffering may not be set as a flat rate, but that the specific circumstances of the individual case must always be taken into account.
According to the correct opinion of the Federal Court of Justice, the severity of the injury, the intensity and duration of the pain and impairments, the behavior of the perpetrator and the effects of the injuries on the life of the injured party are particularly decisive.
The specific circumstances of the accident and the individual consequences for the accident victim must always be taken into account.
Don’t be fobbed off too cheaply!
In our experience, the insurance companies try again and again to pay the injured party far too little compensation. With thousands of cases in which the insurance companies have to pay compensation for pain and suffering, it makes a significant difference for them if they regularly pay several hundred euros too little. Therefore, the insurance companies have an interest in keeping the payments as low as possible in each individual case.
For you as the person affected, this is of course extremely unpleasant. Not only do they have to endure the physical consequences of the accident – at the same time, the insurance companies are also trying to downplay their legitimate claims.
