"I slipped on the ice and didn't expect it to affect my job."

Ingrid, 54, was leaving a shopping centre when she slipped on an icy surface and fell heavily on her hip. At first, she assumed the pain would pass within days.

Medical examinations later confirmed a serious injury that required surgery and rehabilitation. Ingrid was placed on sick leave. Returning to her physically active job proved far more difficult than expected.

Although parts of her income were covered during sick leave, the long-term implications for her ability to work created uncertainty. The injury limited her mobility and endurance, making full-time work challenging.

After learning that compensation in Norway focuses on the consequences of an injury, Ingrid contacted Kompenzo. We reviewed her medical documentation and employment situation and explained how the financial impact could be assessed.

We coordinated the necessary steps and managed communication with insurers. Ingrid did not have to handle administrative procedures herself. The process was structured and transparent.

The case resulted in compensation reflecting both the extended sick leave and the lasting reduction in her work capacity. The outcome provided financial stability during her recovery.

Today, Ingrid works in an adjusted role with reduced physical demands.

"I didn't think a fall like that could change so much. It helped to know the consequences were taken seriously." — Ingrid L., 54
