Wage Loss Compensation After Injury: Rules and Procedures

In case of injury with fault apportionment: how do you claim wage loss? From benefit to reintegration obligations.

Wage loss falls under loss of earning capacity (art. 6:96 BW). With 40% own fault, you receive 60% compensation, provided it is under 50%.

Procedures

Labour expert report determines future loss. UWV wage sanctions for non-cooperation in reintegration.

Example: Construction Worker

Fall from ladder: 30% fault, €80,000 loss over 5 years = €56,000 compensated.

Start with notification to employer and claim with insurer.
