Incapacity to work and occupational disability are something that most of us tend to suppress, as it
would drastically change our lives in the long term. Nowadays, incapacity for work affects more and
more people suddenly and unexpectedly. Whereas in the past it was mainly accidents in the private
sphere or at work, nowadays it is increasingly psychological problems that can lead to incapacity
for work. Burnouts, depression and bullying can quickly take over your whole life and, as experience
shows, first really make themselves felt at work because you are no longer able to carry out your job
as usual. In general, however, the concept of incapacity for work is always initially based on a
temporary impairment. Only when the underlying symptoms make it impossible to carry out one's
usual work even after a long period of time does one speak of a genuine incapacity to work.
Repeated, prolonged or persistent incapacity for work can also quickly lead to problems with the employer. In these cases, it is always advisable to consult a lawyer on the subject of labour law. Incapacity for work and occupational disability can quickly lead to financial problems, even in a welfare state like Germany, and their consequences should therefore not be underestimated.
As a lawyer specialising in employment law and incapacity for work in Munich, I can give you
an initial assessment of your specific case in a detailed and personal consultation. If there are
already conflicts with your employer or with the authorities, we will examine the options for further
action together. The focus here is not only on your continued financial security, but also on a
suitable strategy to specifically address the causes of your incapacity to work, if necessary.
I also help employers with disputes with employees concerning incapacity for work and occupational
disability. Together with all parties, we examine suitable means to create legal certainty for all
parties.
