Loss of Income Compensation After Injury in Utrecht: Rules and Procedures
In case of injury due to fault distribution in Utrecht: how do you claim loss of income? From benefits to reintegration obligations with local UWV offices.
Loss of income falls under loss of earning capacity (art. 6:96 BW). In a Utrecht case with 40% own fault, you receive 60% compensation, provided it is under 50%. In the Utrecht region, with many traffic accidents around the A2 and Catharijnepad, this often affects cyclists and construction workers.
Procedures in Utrecht
A labour expert report, often via local experts in Utrecht-South, determines future loss of income. UWV Utrecht imposes sanctions for non-cooperation with reintegration, such as mandatory programs with regional employers like the municipality or NS.
Example: Construction Worker in Utrecht
Fall from ladder at a construction site near Utrecht Centraal station: 30% own fault, €80,000 loss of income over 5 years = €56,000 compensated. Start with reporting to employer and claim with insurer via the Juridisch Loket Utrecht.
In Utrecht, you can go to the UWV office on Catharijnesingel for advice and reports. Local personal injury lawyers specialize in fault distribution for maximum compensation.
