Claim damages in the event of an accident as a third party?

Questioner

My daughter was riding on the back of the bike when it was hit. She broke her ankle and can't work. We are stuck with medical expenses (own contribution) etc. The employer also wants to recover those costs.

Lawyer

Good morning, It is unfortunate for your daughter that she has experienced this. The (insurer of the) driver is liable for the damage. Costs that qualify for compensation include medical costs of your daughter, but also loss of earning capacity, damaged goods and immaterial damage due to the injury. The employer independently has the right to recover any costs (as displaced damage) from the person who caused the damage. If you would like to discuss your daughter's case further, please feel free to contact us without obligation. Yours sincerely, Mr. Mr. S. Leito FerLei Legal 06-49175526
