Apply for compensation instead of a monthly social compensation payment for injured parties
Injured parties can receive a one-off settlement instead of a monthly compensation payment if they are eligible. You can find out more here.
Basic information
As the injured party, you will receive monthly compensation payments. However, instead of these monthly compensation payments, you can also apply for a settlement. The application for compensation must be submitted within one year of the compensation payment being approved.
You can receive the settlement from a degree of injury of 30. It is paid for 5 years and amounts to 60 times the monthly compensation payment.
Monthly compensation payments already made must be offset against the settlement. Payment of the severance payment settles the claims to the monthly compensation payments for a period of 5 years.
Requirements
- You were granted the monthly compensation payments less than a year ago.
- The application must be submitted to the competent institution at your place of residence.
- Exception: In the case of vaccination damage, responsibility depends on the place of vaccination.
