Frequently asked Questions and answers.

Here we provide answers to frequently asked questions about liability law.

Am I entitled to satisfaction and, if so, to what extent?

A claim for satisfaction exists if the injured person has suffered a serious impairment. This must have resulted in permanent damage or a long healing process (e.g. hospital stay). Serious mental disorders or post-traumatic disorders can also give rise to a claim for satisfaction. After the death of a victim, their next of kin are entitled to satisfaction.

The level of satisfaction is measured according to the specific circumstances, taking into account factors such as the severity of the injury, psychological suffering and the circumstances of the incident.

What do I do if the person causing the damage is unknown or unable to pay my claims?

Victim assistance may provide certain benefits if the person causing the damage remains unknown or is insolvent. In the event of traffic accidents, the National Guarantee Fund (NGF) may also pay.

We would be happy to check for you whether you can assert against one of these two claims.

What happens if I am also at fault?

If the injured person has contributed to or increased the damage himself (so-called self-negligence), the court has the option of reducing the compensation. In the case of slight self-fault, the reduction is often small; in the case of serious self-fault, the compensation can be sharply reduced or, in extreme cases, rejected altogether if the behavior of the injured person appears to be the sole cause of the damage.

How do I contact — injurers or insurance?

In principle, injured parties have a direct right of claim against the liability insurance of the person causing the damage. This means that the claim for damages can be made directly with liability insurance without first having to take action against the person causing the damage. This also applies in particular in the area of motor vehicle liability insurance.

Who pays the lawyer?

In a liability case, the liability insurance of the damaging person or the person causing the damage himself must cover the necessary and reasonable legal fees of the injured person as part of the compensation.

If they do not fully cover the costs or refuse to accept them, it is possible, under given conditions, that part of them or the entire remaining amount may be covered by legal expenses insurance, a cantonal victim assistance agency or as part of the free administration of justice.
