Slysabætur - Compensation Amounts

The calculation of compensation for liability accidents, such as traffic accidents and work accidents at sea, is based on the provisions of tort law. When assessing compensation, various factors are taken into account, including the age of the injured party, income from previous years, and the results of the assessment report.

In the case of work accidents or leisure accidents, the compensation amount is determined by the insurance coverage that was in effect on the date of the accident, along with the results of the assessment report on the consequences of the accident.

It is not possible to determine the exact amount of compensation until the assessment report on the consequences of the accident is available, but here are some examples:
