[Expert assessment of accident sequelae in statutory and private accident insurance].

Public and private accident insurance companies have in common that the insurance risk is the damage to health caused by trauma. Otherwise, they are fundamentally different. Public accident insurance as part of social law has the function of providing compensation for damage. Functional impairment due to trauma is compensated abstractly according to the general labor market. Private accident insurance as part of civil law is an insurance of fixed sums anchored in the agreement. It is completely unrelated to the consequences of trauma-induced limitation of function.
