"How much does a broken leg cost?" We're often asked that question.
The cost of a broken leg depends on your personal situation. If you broke your leg and are recovering well, your compensation will often be limited to a few hundred euros.
But what if you don't recover quickly? Or if you continue to experience symptoms? It's even possible that you'll never recover from your broken leg.
You'll face significant additional costs , especially if your broken leg takes a long time to recover and requires significant assistance from others.
What if you become disabled? If a broken leg lands you on sick leave, you'll immediately lose income!
Then not only will the costs spiral out of control, but at the end of the month, you'll also be short on income. You can't keep advancing the extra costs yourself.
If you want to be eligible for compensation, you'll have to recover your damages from the at-fault party yourself. And that's not easy.
What about liability? How much should your compensation be?
These are all questions you can't answer yourself. Questions you need help with.

After an accident, you are also always entitled to compensation for pain and suffering (pain and suffering for a broken leg).
This compensation is intended for your emotional damage (non-material damage). Therefore, compensation for pain and suffering is also referred to as “non-material damages”.
You are therefore always entitled to compensation for the mental damage you have suffered as a result of a broken leg.
Did you break your leg and recover quickly and without any problems? Then your compensation for pain and suffering will remain relatively limited.
However, if your recovery takes a long time or your injuries may never go away, the amount of compensation will be much higher.
Determining the amount of non-pecuniary damages is also not something you can do on your own. You need expert assistance.
Because a liable insurer often thinks very differently about compensation for a broken leg than it actually should.
Did you break your leg and end up on sick leave ? Was this someone else's fault? Then you are entitled to compensation for your loss of income.
Under the Sickness Benefits Act, you are never entitled to full continued payment of your salary. You receive a maximum of 70% of your salary.
As a result, you'll miss out on 30% of your gross income anyway. The chances are therefore high that you'll immediately run into financial difficulties.
You may also no longer receive certain benefits (in full), such as:
Because you cannot survive without your income, it is important that your damage is compensated.

This is compensation for "loss of enjoyment of life." Your damages should compensate you for your grief, pain, and anything else that might have made you less happy than before the accident.

Calculating non-pecuniary damages:
You are always entitled to compensation for pain and suffering. This is the "non-pecuniary component" of your personal injury compensation.
What is non-pecuniary damages?
Pain and suffering compensation is not in itself a “hard legal term”. It is compensation for damage that cannot be expressed in monetary terms.
So, everything that doesn't fall under additional costs or lost income. It's essentially compensation for your "mental damage.".
How to calculate non-pecuniary damages
People often ask us at the very beginning of their personal injury case how much compensation they are entitled to.
That question is actually impossible to answer. And any personal injury lawyer who claims otherwise is mistaken.
When can you calculate my non-pecuniary damages?
Your compensation for pain and suffering can only be definitively determined at the end of your personal injury case.
Only then will it be known what psychological consequences your injury has had and/or will have for you.
Because it is the psychological consequences that largely determine your compensation for non-pecuniary damages.
Important factors in calculating non-pecuniary damages
Important factors for calculating your non-pecuniary damages include:
