I need to be treated for this. In addition to this work, I also have my own company, which I can't fully commit to now because of the back pain. What should I do? And can I also get the costs for the treatments reimbursed?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n First of all, I wish you a lot of strength and hope you recover quickly!\n \nYou have had an industrial accident and are incapacitated for work. Your employer is obliged to continue paying your wages for the first two years of your incapacity for work. However, this does not apply to income from your own company. If you have disability insurance, you can claim a benefit.\n\n You can declare your healthcare costs with your health insurer.\n\n If your employer has failed to meet his duty of care, your employer is liable for your damages. In that case, he must not only continue to pay your wages, but you must be fully compensated. If the latter is the case, I advise you to engage a personal injury specialist. He can assess your case legally and enter into negotiations with the employer's insurer. Because the costs of a personal injury specialist can be recovered from the liable party, engaging a personal injury specialist is often free of charge.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n First of all, I would like to wish you a speedy recovery.\n \nAn employer is responsible for a safe working environment for his employees. If you have suffered an injury as a result of an accident at work, which is the result of an unsafe working environment, the employer may be responsible for this. It is important to get clarity about what exactly happened when you got the cupboard on your back.\n\n If your employer is responsible for your accident, you can receive compensation for all expenses, including treatments, that you have incurred as a result of the accident. You can also claim any income that you miss in your own company and compensation for pain and suffering. If you need it, you can use a personal injury specialist who can also recover his or her expenses from your employer.\n\n If the employer has insurance, then the insurance company, not the employer, will arrange everything properly with you.\n \nI have a lot of experience with industrial accidents and if you have any questions, please contact me.\n\n Hoping this has been helpful to you.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55016841642333,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-30545-ik-heb-op-mijn-werk-een-zware-kast-op-mijn-rug-gekregen-hier-door-heb-ik-nu-rug-pijn-ik-moet-hierv","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
