Loss of Income Compensation After Injury in Amsterdam: Rules and Procedures
In case of injury with fault apportionment in Amsterdam: how do you claim loss of income? From benefits to reintegration obligations with local resources.
Loss of income falls under loss of earning capacity (art. 6:96 DCC). In a case in Amsterdam with 40% own fault, you receive 60% compensation, provided it is under 50%. In Amsterdam's bustling port and construction sectors, this is often seen in workplace accidents.
Procedures in Amsterdam
A labour expert report, often via Amsterdam expertise bureaus such as in the Zuidas, determines future loss. UWV wage sanctions apply for non-cooperation with reintegration, with local support via the UWV office in Amsterdam Zuidoost. Consider legal assistance from specialised law firms around the Dam or via the Juridisch Loket Amsterdam.

Fall from ladder during renovation of a canal house: 30% own fault, €80,000 loss of income over 5 years = €56,000 compensated. With local reintegration programmes via Werkse! Amsterdam, recovery can be accelerated.
Start with reporting to the employer and claim with the insurer. In Amsterdam: consult the GGD directly for medical examinations or the Centrum voor Werk en Inkomen for supplementary assistance.
