Tort Law in Vienna: I Get What You Deserve
Whether traffic accident, medical error, or property damage – I enforce your claims. Uncompromisingly and with full commitment.
An accident changes everything. Suddenly you face doctor visits, bureaucratic procedures, and the question: Who will actually pay for what happened to me? As your attorney for tort law in Vienna, I know this situation. I know how insurance companies work, what tactics they use, and how to counter them. My goal is clear: you should receive the compensation you are legally entitled to. Nothing less.
When Are You Entitled to Compensation?
Austrian law provides that anyone who causes damage must also compensate for it. That sounds simple, but in practice it rarely is. Insurance companies scrutinize every claim, delay payments, and often offer less than you are entitled to.
Traffic Accidents
You were hit as a pedestrian, cyclist, or in a car. The other party's insurance refuses to pay or offers too little.
Medical Malpractice
A surgery went wrong, a diagnosis came too late. You bear the consequences, but who bears the costs?
Property Damage
Your property was damaged by neighbors, contractors, or third parties. The responsible parties refuse to pay.
Personal Injury
Physical injuries that affect your life. You are entitled to pain and suffering compensation, lost earnings, and care costs.
What Does Compensation Actually Include?
Many clients underestimate what they are entitled to. Compensation is more than just the repair bill:
- Pain and suffering: For physical and emotional distress
- Medical costs: Doctor visits, therapies, medications
- Lost earnings: When you cannot work
- Household management damage: When you can no longer manage your household
- Care costs: For permanent impairments
- Property damage: Repair or replacement of damaged items

Why I Should Be Your Attorney
Insurance companies have their own lawyers whose only goal is to pay as little as possible. You need someone on your side who speaks the same language. With over 10 years of experience in tort law, I know the strategies of the opposing side. I know when an offer is fair and when it's worth fighting on.
