Affection damage: what does it involve?

When a loved one of yours is seriously injured or dies, it leads to a lot of grief. In case law, this grief is called affection damage. Since January 2019, it is possible for loved ones to get compensation from the liable party for this.

Labour InjuryAdvocates assists you during this difficult time. We will work for you to recover compensation from the liable party.

What is affection damage?

Affection damage - or intangible damage - is the damage experienced by loved ones of a seriously injured or deceased person, in the form of suffering and pain. In recognition of this form of damage, it is possible to obtain compensation for it. This compensation can be between €12,500 and €20,000

When am I entitled to affection damage?

You are entitled to compensation if you are a partner, (step) child or (step) parent of the victim. Also, the event causing the victim's injury or death must have been caused by another person. And it must have taken place after 1 January 2019.

Finally, there must be exceptionally serious injury. By this we mean that the injury has serious and lasting consequences for the functioning of the body or for the relationship between you and the victim.
