The definition of compensation and why you need a lawyer to obtain it
Compensation, often a monetary reward or other benefits, is what an injured person receives for harm caused by another’s unlawful actions. The conditions determining eligibility for compensation may vary considerably depending on the jurisdiction of a particular country and the particularities of each individual case. The diversity of laws and regulations governing compensation emphasizes the need to take into account local legislative peculiarities and the unique circumstances of a particular offense.

We handle cases involving personal and property losses resulting from workplace accidents, car accidents, cycling accidents abroad, and other situations in which you have been injured.
Compensation payments in Europe and globally (USA, Canada) can be categorized according to different criteria.
Based on the frequency of payments, the following are distinguished:
- one-time payments;
- recurring payments (monthly, annual).
