Procedure details
Description
Accident benefits are part of the civil service pension scheme and are granted in accordance with Art. 45 ff. of the Bavarian Civil Service Pension Act (BayBeamtVG) in conjunction with the Bavarian Medical Procedures Ordinance (BayHeilvfV). Accident benefits include, in particular, medical treatment, accident compensation and accident pension in the event of retirement due to an occupational accident.
An accident at work is a sudden, external, local and temporally determinable event that causes physical injury and occurs in the course of or as a result of employment. Service also includes business travel, business trips and business activities at the place of destination. Traveling the distance between the family home and the place of work in connection with the work is also considered to be work.
Accident benefits are not granted if the injured person intentionally caused the accident in breach of duty.
Accidents that may give rise to claims for accident benefits must be reported in writing by the injured person to their superior (usually the head of the authority where the civil servant is employed) within a cut-off period of two years after the accident occurred, preferably without delay. The granting of accident insurance benefits takes precedence over benefits and private health insurance.
Once the occupational accident has been recognized, the injured person can claim the necessary and reasonable costs of the accident-related medical treatment directly from the Bezügestelle Dienstunfall des Landesamtes für Finanzen by submitting supporting documents (e.g. doctor's bills, medical prescriptions).
Further information can be found on the website of the State Finance Office.
Requirements
A civil servant is injured in an accident in the line of duty.
Proceedings
Report the accident to your superior (= usually the head of the authority where the civil servant is employed) within a cut-off period of two years.
They will usually provide you with the relevant forms. If you do not receive these from your superior, you will find them under "Forms".
The superior will forward the documents to the State Office of Finance, which will decide whether to recognize the accident as an occupational accident and grant accident insurance benefits. If necessary, an official or specialist medical report will be obtained to clarify medical questions.
Deadlines
Accidents must be reported to the superior in writing within a two-year cut-off period.
Special notes
Occupational accident insurance only applies to civil servants of the Free State of Bavaria. Employees should contact the relevant employers' liability insurance association (usually the state accident insurance fund).
Legal bases
Appeal
Optional opposition procedure
-
Appeal procedure (optional); lodging an appeal
If the objection has no suspensive effect, an application for suspension of enforcement can be made to the original authority or the objection authority in accordance with Section 80 (4) VwGO. Instead, an application for an order or restoration of the suspensive effect of the objection can be made to the competent Bavarian Administrative Court in accordance with Section 80 (5) VwGO.
Please note: If it concerns the demand for public charges and costs (§ 80 Para. 2 Sentence 1 No. 1 VwGO), an application to the court is generally only admissible if the authority has previously rejected an application for suspension of enforcement (§ 80 Para. 6 VwGO).
