Personal injury explained

What exactly is personal injury?

Personal injury is all damage you suffer as a result of being injured in an accident for which someone else is at fault. Think of a traffic accident, an accident at work , or an accident involving an animal. It concerns not only your physical injury, but also all the consequences thereof: the costs you incur, the income you lose, and the pain and grief you experience.

When are you entitled to compensation?

You are entitled to compensation as soon as another party is legally liable for your injury. Often, that liability is established by law — for example, with your employer after a workplace accident, or with the owner of a dog that bites you. Are you unsure if your situation stands a chance? We will assess this free of charge and without obligation , and are always honest about your chances.

Who pays for the damage?

In almost all cases, the opposing party's insurer pays for your damages — and the costs of our legal assistance. So you never pay anything and keep 100% of your compensation yourself. Do you want an idea of ​​whether your situation stands a chance? Do the free personal injury check or read more about compensation for pain and suffering.

Medical error

Victim of medical malpractice?

Did something go wrong during a treatment, surgery, or diagnosis? A medical error can have major consequences for your health, your work, and your life. You often feel powerless against the hospital or the insurer — but you are often in a stronger position than you think.

Medical cases are often complex, but don't let that hold you back. We offer a no-obligation of whether your case has a chance of success, and then provide you with personal support: with understanding for what you are going through and the legal expertise to recover your damages.

  • Free assessment of your situation
  • Personal, dedicated guidance
  • You never pay anything — 100% paid by the insurer

Our story

I saw too often that victims were left to fend for themselves

Too many people with injuries found themselves up against an insurer who had all the time and knowledge — and they did not. As a result, they received much less than they were entitled to, or they gave up. That had to change.

That is why I founded Nederland Letselschade: a Dutch team that for you . No call center, no fine print. One dedicated specialist who knows you, explains your situation in plain language, and keeps going until your damages are fully compensated. Free of charge, because the insurer pays for our help.

Frequently Asked Questions

Good to know about personal injury

How much does legal assistance for personal injury cost?
Nothing. The costs of our assistance are 100% paid by the insurer. The law stipulates that the liable party (usually an insurer) also reimburses the reasonable costs of legal assistance. Therefore, you will not receive a bill from us.
Am I entitled to compensation?
If you have sustained injuries caused by another party, there is a good chance you are entitled to compensation. During the free intake, we assess whether the other party is liable and what damages you can recover.
What exactly falls under personal injury?
In addition to medical costs, this includes loss of income, household help, travel expenses, adaptations, and pain and suffering (compensation for pain, grief, and loss of enjoyment of life).
What is compensation for pain and suffering?
Pain and suffering compensation is compensation for non-material damage: the suffering, pain, and diminished enjoyment of life caused by your injury. The amount depends on the nature and severity of the injury and the consequences for your life.
How long does a personal injury case take?
That varies by case. Minor cases are sometimes settled within a few weeks to months, while more complex files take longer because your recovery needs to be stable first. Where possible, we request an advance payment so that you do not have to wait.
Do you work throughout the Netherlands?
Yes. We handle personal injury cases throughout the Netherlands — by phone, online, and at your home where necessary.
