When a client suffers injury through the fault of another — whether in a road traffic accident, a workplace incident, a case of medical negligence, or a public liability claim — LexBerg's personal injury team provides expert legal representation to secure the full compensation they are entitled to under German law. We handle claims at every level of complexity, from straightforward road accident claims to multi-party catastrophic injury litigation involving long-term care costs and future loss of earnings.
German personal injury law — governed primarily by the BGB and the Straßenverkehrsgesetz for road accidents — provides for compensation covering past and future medical expenses, loss of earnings, rehabilitation costs, long-term care needs, and Schmerzensgeld (pain and suffering damages). LexBerg ensures that every head of loss is identified, properly evidenced, and fully pleaded — a process that frequently requires expert medical, neuropsychological, and actuarial evidence that we commission and manage throughout the claim.
We meticulously document every head of loss — past and future — to ensure our clients receive the full compensation they are entitled to, not merely the immediate medical costs that insurers are quick to offer.
LexBerg has extensive experience dealing with German liability insurers and major corporate defendants who routinely seek to minimise their exposure through early low-value settlement offers and procedural delay.
We advise clients injured abroad on navigating foreign legal systems, and German residents injured by non-German defendants on questions of applicable law and jurisdiction under EU Regulation Rome II.
We also advise on psychological injury claims — including PTSD and other recognised psychiatric conditions caused by traumatic accidents — and on the specific legal requirements for bringing such claims before German courts. For clients with catastrophic injuries, we work with specialist rehabilitation case managers and future care experts to build a comprehensive claim that genuinely reflects the full impact of the injury on the client's life.
