Types of Accidents and Harm
Traffic Accidents
The right to compensation for traffic accidents is strong in Iceland. If you are injured in such an accident, whether you sustain temporary or permanent injuries, you are generally entitled to compensation from an insurance company. The right to compensation is in general regardless of whether you or someone else caused the accident.
Work Accidents
It is important to seek compensation as soon as possible after an accident at work. A work accident must be reported to the appropriate insurance company and to the national Iceland Health Insurance within a year of the accident to avoid the risk of losing your right to compensation.
