Accident on duty/accident on the way

According to the definition in Section 36 of the State Civil Servants' Pension Act (LBeamtVG), an occupational accident is "a sudden, localised and temporally determinable event resulting in physical injury that occurs in the course of or as a consequence of employment".

This also includes business trips, business travel, participation in official events and travelling between home and work.

The prerequisite for the granting of accident benefits is the recognition of an accident as an official accident by the highest official authority (here: the Presidium).

For this purpose, it is necessary to submit an accident report as soon as possible and, in the case of a commuting accident, a commuting accident report. Please also submit the notification form to your personnel officer.

Accidents that may give rise to accident benefit claims must be reported within a cut-off period of 2 years after the accident (§ 54 LBeamtVG). In deviation from this, a cut-off period of 3 months after the accident applies to the assertion of property damage (optional benefit).

The application form for accident benefits must be used to submit the treatment costs incurred or other costs incurred as a result of the accident. Reimbursement can only be made after the accident has been recognised as an occupational accident.

If you have any questions, please contact your clerk in unit 4.2.
