Compensation - what is it due for?
Anyone who has caused damage to another through his or her own fault is obliged to compensate for the damage. Damages aim at restoring the state before the damage was caused insofar as this is possible and at compensating the injured person with a certain sum of money. Compensation can be claimed for, among other things:
- personal injury - related to specific events resulting in bodily injury, loss of health or life - e.g. as a result of an accident,damage to property - destruction or loss of property - including in terms of tangible assets - e.g.: home, equipment, car, flat,
- material damage - damage to or loss of property - including in terms of tangible assets - e.g.: house, equipment, car, flat,
- traffic accidents - related to accidents involving all vehicles, including bicycles - compensation involves, inter alia, payment for repairing the damage from the perpetrator's third party insurance,
- loss of income - refers to a situation where the injured person could have earned income from their day-to-day job or contract, but was prevented from doing so as a result of the above-mentioned situations.
- medical malpractice - when the patient's injury is related to the action of a doctor or other professional practising a medical profession - e.g.: injury caused by a doctor performing an appendectomy, or injury caused by a midwife delivering a baby,
Investigation of damages Cracow
We handle compensation cases from the beginning, i.e. from the stage of reporting the damage to the perpetrator or insurer. A good lawyer can, on behalf of the client, verify the documents and assess the chances of receiving compensation and seek an amicable settlement. If it is not possible to reach an amicable settlement, the lawyer’s action involves starting legal proceedings. In such a situation, you will get representation at every stage of the case, assistance and advice depending on the course of the process, as well as monitoring of the progress of the case and access to information.
Medical error cases, which are dealt with in our practice, deserve separate attention. For a medical error, you can claim compensation from the medical institution for the expenses incurred as a result of the error, e.g. medical costs, diet, lost wages. Monetary compensation can also be claimed for the harm and suffering suffered. The family of a deceased patient can claim compensation for the loss of a loved one and an annuity when their financial situation has deteriorated.
These cases are often complex and require careful analysis of medical records and the conduct of doctors and all medical staff. We are experienced lawyers and are competent to assess the possibility of obtaining compensation or damages, as well as to estimate its amount. We realise how difficult it is for our clients to participate in such cases, therefore we approach each case individually, with commitment and empathy.
