A workplace accident can have major consequences, including incapacity for work. If, due to an accident at work, you are temporarily or fully unable to work, this can lead to significant loss of income. Fortunately, in the Netherlands you are entitled to compensation if your employer is liable. At Arslan Attorneys we help you recover these damages from the liable party.
Loss of income after a workplace accident: what can you claim?
In case of incapacity for work due to a workplace accident, you can claim various forms of loss of income, including:
- Reduced salary: If your employer only continues to pay 70% of your salary, you can recover the 30% loss.
- No irregular-hours allowance or overtime: These lost earnings are also part of the damages.
- Pension accrual and bonuses: Loss from this can be included in the schedule of damages.
- Benefit payments with income loss: For example, when you receive a benefit that is lower than your regular salary.
- Income from extra work: Such as tips, bonuses, or ‘under-the-table’ income.
Our specialized personal injury lawyers accurately calculate your total damages based on pay slips and other financial data.
