Get free advice!","description":"\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n As a construction worker I had an accident in construction. A steel stamp fell on my hand when I climbed a ladder. Result: a shattered thumb with an open wound, frequent hospital visits, unable to do my own work for half a year. My own risk from the health insurer is a maximum of 360 euros and I now have to cough that up. This while I normally only declare cholesterol pills.\n\n I am now receiving mail from my employer's insurer, but it is only about the loss of function of my thumb.\n\n My question now is, can I recover the costs from my employer?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n First of all, I wish you a speedy recovery.\n \nYou have, you write, suffered an industrial accident. In the event of an industrial accident, you as an employee must demonstrate that you suffered damage in the performance of your work. Your employer must then demonstrate that he did everything that was reasonably possible to prevent the accident. If your employer cannot do this, he is liable. In that case, your employer is obliged to compensate all damage that you suffer.\n\n You write that you receive mail from your employer's insurer, but that it only mentions the loss of function of your thumb. It seems as if your employer took out accident insurance for you. With such insurance, you receive a payment in the event of permanent disability. Regardless of the extent of the damage.\n \nIn the case of personal injury such as yours, it is important that you are assisted by an experienced personal injury lawyer. Your damage is greater than just the deductible of your health insurance. If you wish, I can assist you in recovering your damages. The associated costs can often be fully recovered from your opponent. In that case, my assistance will not cost you anything.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n First of all, I wish you a speedy recovery. The injury you describe seems serious in any case. Certainly when performing your work.\n\n In order to assess whether your employer is liable, and you can therefore recover the damages from your employer, I would like to receive some more details about the accident. Was the accident reported to the labor inspectorate and did they perhaps draw up a report? Such a report can help with the investigation into liability.\n \nAn employer is liable if you as an employee can blame the employer. And that blame must then imply that the employer has not sufficiently fulfilled his duty of care. If the employer is indeed liable, you can recover the deductible of the healthcare costs from the employer, but also other costs. It even goes so far that the future is considered. After all, your thumb is important for your work.\n\n Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss the details of the accident and the chances of holding the employer liable. Good luck!\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n First of all, I would like to wish you a speedy and complete recovery.\n \nYour employer is liable for all damages you have suffered if the accident at work was caused by an unsafe working environment or a lack of proper instructions and possibly supervision? In that case, he has failed in his legal duty to provide a safe working environment. It is therefore of great importance to find out how it was possible that a steel stamp fell on your hand when you were climbing the ladder.\n\n If your employer is liable, you can claim other costs in addition to the deductible, such as travel expenses to the hospital and also compensation for pain and suffering. But the costs of legal assistance will also be reimbursed.\n\n By the way, employers are usually insured against claims for occupational accidents. Therefore, the damage is usually settled with the insurance company.\n\n I have extensive experience with personal injury cases and work accidents. If you wish, I would be happy to look at your case for free and without obligation.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55014520979805,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-29530-als-bouwvakker-heb-ik-een-ongeluk-gehad-in-de-bouw-er-is-een-stalen-stempel-op-mijn-hand-gevallen-t","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
