Claim for compensation

A claim for compensation is a demand for payment for a loss, made by the injured party against whoever caused it or against an insurer. It usually needs to be documented with receipts, photos or medical statements. If a claim is made against your business, your liability insurance helps assess and handle it.

Examples

A customer sends an invoice of DKK 8,000 for a floor damaged during a delivery. That is a claim for compensation, which the company’s liability insurance assesses.
