‘Ik probeer een zaak niet alleen juridisch te bekijken, maar ook te onderzoeken wat voor het slachtoffer echt belangrijk is. Dat vraagt soms om meer empathie, toewijding en ‘out of the box’ denken. Beer advocaten is eigenzinnig, durft van de gebaande paden af te wijken en kijkt daarbij ook verder dan de landsgrenzen.’

The compensation measure as a safety net for the victim of a violent or moral crime

For victims of traffic accidents, liability often guarantees compensation for their damages. After all, in the Netherlands it is mandatory for license plate owners to take out WAM insurance for their motor vehicle. In practice, it is almost always the WAM insurer who pays the compensation. Should, for whatever reason, the WAM not provide coverage, non-motorized traffic victims can appeal to the Motor Traffic Guarantee Fund in the event of an accident with a motorized vehicle. For example, if the perpetrator drove on, was not insured or was driving a stolen motor vehicle.
