Apply for replacement of damaged or destroyed aids

Service Description

If your glasses, prosthesis or other aid is damaged in an accident at work, the agricultural employers' liability insurance association will pay for it.

The agricultural employers' liability insurance association (LBG) insures you against accidents at work and commuting accidents as well as occupational illnesses. If an aid you are using is damaged or lost in an accident at work, the agricultural employers' liability insurance association will compensate you for the damage.
Aids include, for example

  • prostheses
  • orthopaedic footwear
  • support corsets
  • wheelchairs for the sick
  • walking sticks
  • spectacles
  • hearing aids.

It does not matter for what reason you need the aid.

If your aid is damaged, you can claim reimbursement of the repair costs.

If the aid has been destroyed or lost, the German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the agricultural sector will cover the cost of a new aid. The new aid must correspond to the previous aid in terms of its features, function and price.

The aim is for you to be able to use your aid again as if the accident at work had not happened ("in rem restitution"). The agricultural employers' liability insurance association will reimburse the actual damage incurred.

Compensation is not possible for luxury versions of aids that serve to decorate and adorn the person affected.
