Young man with hand injury/PTSD compensation - NOK. 2.1 million (Supreme Court)

PTSD compensation

Fisherman with occupational injury for PTSD compensation.

A young fisherman got stuck in a net roller on the open sea and suffered physical and psychological injuries. The injured party could no longer work as a fisherman, but was retrained to work on land. However, he suffered permanent injuries and experienced a not insignificant loss of income.

The insurance company offered a total compensation of NOK. 700 000,-. In the legal process, the insurance company also argued that the case was time-barred and that the young man was not entitled to any compensation at all. The case was initially negotiated between the parties, but the injured party had to seek the help of the courts in order to be awarded the correct compensation.

The case was eventually heard by the Supreme Court. The injured party was awarded a total compensation of NOK. 2.1 million, and legal costs for all court instances.
