These are awarded in different amounts in the various court districts. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, the Regional Court of Salzburg would likely award compensation for pain and suffering of approximately EUR 5,520.00 for an injury involving 3 days of severe pain, 8 days of moderate pain, and 21 days of mild pain.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"h-sachschaden\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Property damage<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We accept all legal expenses insurance policies.<\/p>\n    <div class=\"mr-quote mrbg clearfix\">\n        <a class=\"mr-quote-person\" href=\"\/en\/about-us\/mariella-stubhann\/\" title=\"Dr Mariella Stubhann MPM MBA\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mr-quote-person-img\" src=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/wp-content\/themes\/harlander\/design\/mss100.webp\" width=\"100\"\n                 height=\"100\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Dr Mariella Stubhann MPM MBA\">\n            <span class=\"mr-quote-person-text\">\n            Dr Mariella Stubhann MPM MBA<br>\n            <span class=\"mr-quote-person-function\">Harlander &amp; Partner Rechtsanw\u00e4lte<\/span>\n        <\/span>\n        <\/a>\n        <span class=\"mr-quote-content\">\u201eUtilize our <strong>free initial consultation<\/strong> via video conference or telephone to receive a legal assessment of the legal situation.\u201c<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n<a class=\"mr-cta-link mr-cta-button-cal\" href=\"#h2-booking\" title=\"Free initial consultation\"><span class=\"mr-cta-link-normal\">Select your preferred appointment now:<\/span><span class=\"mr-cta-link-bold\">Free initial consultation<\/span><\/a>\n\n<h3 id=\"h-bergungskosten\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rescue costs<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Recovery costs<\/strong> include the <strong>costs of recovery from the accident scene<\/strong>.
