How to get compensation after an occupational injury

As an occupational injury victim, you may be entitled to several million kroner in compensation. And it's usually your employer's insurance company that covers your legal expenses.

You should therefore contact a compensation lawyer as soon as possible after an accident at work.

Here are five tips for those who have been injured in a workplace accident

1. Document the event: Ensure that the incident can be documented and obtain witness statements if necessary.
2. Report the damage: If you have suffered an occupational injury resulting in personal injury, the Labour Inspection Authority must be contacted. An occupational injury must also be reported to NAV within one year.
3. Seek medical attention: You should contact your GP or another doctor as soon as possible. It is very important that any symptoms after an accident are thoroughly documented in your medical records.
4. Contact your insurance companies: If you are injured at work, claims for compensation must be made to your employer's insurance company. You should notify your employer's insurance company as soon as possible, and within one year at the latest, as well as your own insurance companies about the accident you have suffered.
5. Take care of your receipts: It's important that you keep all receipts for expenses incurred as a result of the accident.
