You should not postpone contacting a lawyer after you have been injured in a work accident.

Applying for legal representation at a too late stage may damage the claim and you may not receive the compensation you deserve, says at the beginning of the discussion, attorney Daniel Varach. The most important thing to do after being involved in an accident - apart from receiving medical treatment - is to contact a professional, skilled and experienced lawyer as soon as possible In the field, who will know how to guide you in real time, build the case and document the relevant evidence concerning the circumstances of the incident and the damages, and in this way obtain for you the maximum compensation you deserve, explains attorney Daniel Varach and presents in the following lines the answers to all the questions on the subject.

"You should contact a lawyer as soon as the accident happens, since the initial conduct is of enormous importance for the further management of the case in terms of the recognition of the accident, the description of the injury and the conduct of the tests themselves."

"In the first step, the National Insurance is sued. As part of the claim, the victim may, depending on his condition, stay for 91 days of incapacity for work (sick days) and receive compensation from the National Insurance at a rate of 75% of the salary, according to the average salary of the three months preceding the accident.

"Then you can submit A claim for disability from National Insurance, where permanent (permanent) disability from 9.75% to 19% qualifies for a one-time grant (depending on income and disability percentage) and permanent disability of 20% or more qualifies for a lifetime monthly allowance.

"After the conclusion of the claim against the National Insurance, one should consider filing a claim against the employer or against the cause of the damage or against mandatory insurance, in the event of a car accident. In parallel with the conduct detailed here, it is also possible in certain cases to claim private insurances, if they exist, as well as the pension fund in a claim for a disability pension ( loss of working capacity)".

"It is doubly important for the self-employed to contact a lawyer as soon as the accident occurs, since unlike an salaried employee whose employer testifies or reports the injury, an salaried employee reports himself and is therefore examined by the National Insurance with great care. Even in the case of a self-employed person, you can claim disability from the National Insurance and follow-up claims after him."

Many people do not know their rights and settle for the minimum - how can you prevent this and get more?

"In the field of insurance and damages, in most cases, the lawyer works on a fee as a percentage of the success, so his interest is to give the client the maximum compensation and to exercise his full rights, in the best way, since a high compensation for the client guarantees a suitable salary for the lawyer."

"At the beginning of the treatment, it is not possible to estimate the value of the compensation, because a lot depends on the client's behavior and the correct intention. What's more, the human body is a dynamic thing, sometimes there is an improvement in the situation and sometimes a worsening. In any case, the accepted period of time until the damage is formed (disability/limitation that can be estimated to not improve more) is a year from the date of the accident, so the value of the case can be estimated."

"A claim that is conducted correctly should not last for many years. A claim for personal injuries is a process in which other rights can be exercised at any stage, so in any case the lifespan of a standard case can last one and a half to two years, depending also on the additional factors involved (court, defendant)."

"Receiving a rejection letter from the insurance company is not the end of the story, since it is known that insurance companies operate for profit, so they have no interest in paying easily. In such cases, you can file a claim or turn to a mediation process and demand appropriate compensation. It should be noted that the statute of limitations for an insurance claim is three years, so that
