Cause and effect of personal injury

Personal injury includes any kind of physical or psychological damage you suffered as a result of the negligence or fault of another. You can suffer personal injury in a variety of ways. Common causes include injuries from a collision, work accident, traffic accident or defective product. The victim may suffer physical or mental harm as a result. To compensate for the personal injury suffered, the injured party can hold the other party liable and ask the person or organization that caused damage to compensate them.

Damages

Personal injury involves a complex legal field and often deals with difficult and emotional issues. Medical and legal aspects together play a role in determining damages and their settlement. Therefore, it is important for you to be well informed about the items of damages, liability and the amount of compensation. For this, we recommend that you hire a personal injury lawyer.

Personal injury can include costs such as:

• loss of income/damage due to disability
• medical expenses not reimbursed by the insurer
• car or home modifications
• costs for help with housekeeping or home maintenance
• care costs
• a study delay
• repair costs
• replacement cost
• energy costs
• damages

Tax-free

It is good to know that compensation is tax-free. If a personal injury amount has been agreed or awarded, it is in principle a net amount. This means that no income tax is due on this. Therefore, you do not have to declare the personal injury benefit as income on your tax return. However, you do pay capital gains tax.
