Disability insurance (IV) is the central component of disability provision in Switzerland and part of the 1st pillar. It is a compulsory insurance and aims to provide financial security for people with health impairments through integration measures or pension benefits.
The IV focuses on reintegration into the labor market. Entitlement to a pension is only examined if the ability to work cannot be restored or significantly improved through medical, occupational or other reintegration measures.
Our social insurance lawyer will provide you with comprehensive advice on integration measures, pension applications and objection procedures. Your social insurance lawyer will help you to challenge unlawful IV decisions and enforce your justified claims.
The Suva is the largest provider of compulsory accident insurance in Switzerland and insures around half of all employees against the consequences of occupational and non-occupational accidents and occupational illnesses.
As a person insured with Suva, you are entitled to the following statutory insurance benefits:
Care services and reimbursement of costs for medical treatment and necessary therapies.
Cash benefits such as daily allowances, disability pensions and survivors’ pensions to compensate for financial losses.
Rehabilitation and reintegration measures to restore your ability to work after an accident or illness.
Our social insurance lawyer will provide you with expert support in examining and enforcing your claims against Suva and other accident insurers. We support you in objection proceedings, court cases and disputes about benefits and ensure that you are not denied the insurance benefits to which you are legally entitled

In certain situations – such as for cross-border commuters or when changing residence – an exemption from compulsory insurance can be applied for. Our lawyers will advise you competently on the requirements and support you during the proceedings.

If employees are absent for an extended period due to illness or pregnancy, they are still entitled to continued salary payments. This obligation lies with the employer, but can be covered by daily sickness benefits insurance.
A daily sickness benefits insurance policy is considered an equivalent solution if it:
✅ Provides for half of the premium to be shared
✅ Pays out daily benefits amounting to 80% of the salary
✅ Provides benefits for a maximum of 720 days within 900 days
In our experience, many daily sickness benefits insurers try to stop further payments after around a year– often with standardized justifications. In the process:
In such cases, a careful examination by a social security lawyer is worthwhile. We help you to legally enforce your entitlement to daily sickness benefits and to contest unjustified refusals of benefits.

If your health insurance company denies you benefits, our lawyers are the right people to contact. Your social security lawyer will examine your case and enforce your claim for sickness benefit, rehabilitation or other treatment.
In social insurance law, the (medical) facts are defined in accordance with Art. 43 para. 1 ATSG ex officio. This means that the authorities are obliged to clarify all relevant medical and legal aspects of a case objectively and completely.
Despite this requirement, incorrect medical findings are repeatedly made in practice. Especially at the interface between medicine and law, contradictions, incomplete expert opinions or one-sided assessments often arise.
Our social security lawyers are committed to ensuring that:
✅ All relevant medical reports and medical reports are fully and conclusively taken into account
✅ Incorrect or incomplete findings are corrected
✅ The statutory discretion of the authorities is reviewed for errors and appropriateness
In many cases, authorities have discretionary powers. We carefully check whether this has been exercised correctly or whether there are errors of judgment that we can legally challenge.
