Personal injury is often more far-reaching than it first appears. Not only is your health affected, but also your work, your family, and your future. Our personal injury lawyers help you every step of the way: from establishing liability to calculating compensation. On this page, you can read about the various aspects of personal injury and what you're entitled to.

What is personal injury?

Personal injury is physical or mental harm caused by the actions of another party. This damage is often more than medical: think of loss of income, necessary household help, or long-term psychological complaints.  

Types of personal injury

The consequences of injury can be divided into tangible and intangible damages. Tangible damages cover concrete costs, such as hospital bills, loss of income, and informal care. Intangible damages involve compensation for pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. Psychological damages such as PTSD also deserve special attention.

Causes of personal injury

Injuries can result from traffic accidents, unsafe work situations, medical errors, defective products, or even animals. Sometimes the injury is the result of a crime. In all these cases, we can hold the responsible party liable and help you claim your damages. View the various causes of personal injury.

Compensation

Proper compensation covers not only your current expenses but also what you'll miss out on in the future. Think of long-term therapy, missed career opportunities, or ongoing care needs. Our personal injury lawyers carefully assess all these items and request advance payments where possible. Read how we calculate your compensation.

Legal aspects of personal injury

Personal injury law is about more than just "being right." The other party must be held liable, often supported by evidence and medical reports. Deadlines (such as statutes of limitations) are strict, and international rules may apply for damages incurred abroad. Discover all legal aspects of personal injury.

The role of the personal injury lawyer

Our lawyers specialize in personal injury and are largely affiliated with the Dutch Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (LSA). We work with medical advisors, actuaries, and employment experts, among others, to complete your file. We negotiate with insurers, initiate legal proceedings where necessary, and ensure you're not alone in this process. Read more about the role of the lawyer in personal injury cases.

The personal injury claims process

From initial medical care to the final payment of your compensation: the personal injury claims process has clear steps. We guide you through gathering evidence, drafting your compensation calculations, and making strategic choices such as settlement or litigation. View step by step how the claims process works.

Practical tools

A personal injury case requires organization. That's why we offer checklists, a complaint log, and an online assessment to evaluate your chances of compensation. Even after your case concludes, we remain available for reopenings or subsequent medical deterioration.
