Have you become sick due to a broken arm? And was that 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, so you'll definitely miss out on 30% of it. It's likely you'll find yourself in financial difficulties almost immediately.
You may also no longer receive certain benefits (in full), such as:
Because you cannot survive without your income, it is important that your damages are compensated.
“How much does a broken arm cost?” we are often asked.
The cost of a broken arm depends on your personal situation. Sometimes your additional expenses are limited to a few tens of euros. But sometimes the costs for a broken arm can really spiral out of control, and you can't afford to pay them yourself. This is especially true if your broken arm takes a long time to recover and requires significant assistance from others.
You're responsible for recovering your damages from the at-fault party yourself. But how does that work? What are the implications of liability, and how much should the compensation be?
These are all questions you can't answer yourself and need help with. Help from an expert personal injury firm with the Personal Injury Quality Mark.

With a broken arm, you need to go to the hospital. This can be done by ambulance or by private transport. Sometimes surgery or even hospitalization is necessary.
In principle, hospital costs are covered by your health insurance, unless you have no insurance or a high deductible.
Unreimbursed hospital costs for a broken arm can be recovered from the liable party.
If you go to the hospital by ambulance, this will in any case be at the expense of your health insurance deductible.
Outpatient clinic costs are also deducted from your deductible. The same applies if you undergo surgery or if surgery is necessary.
Usually, it only concerns the mandatory deductible of €0.375. But some people have a voluntary deductible of as much as €0.500 or more per year.
You can also recover the deductible for a broken arm from the liable party.

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
