Injured after a motorcycle accident? Motorcyclists often sustain serious injuries. We recover your damages from the opposing party free of charge.
You didn't ask for it — and yet you are stuck with the consequences. We provide personal support, take the fight with the insurer off your hands, and ensure you receive what you are entitled to. So that you can focus on your recovery.
As a motorcyclist, you are vulnerable, and as a result, an accident often takes a heavy toll. Bone fractures, a long rehabilitation, sometimes permanent injury, and on top of that, the feeling that you are unfairly blamed. It is perfectly understandable that this hits hard. But know this: you are stronger than you think.
Motorcyclists are regularly wrongly blamed for accidents. A good reconstruction often reverses that perception. And the best part is: our help costs you nothing. In the event of a legitimate claim, the opposing party's insurer also pays our costs.
With us, you won't get a rotating call center on the line, but one dedicated personal injury expert who knows your case and knows you by name. Someone who takes the time to listen to your story and explains in plain language what you are entitled to.
You have enough on your plate with your recovery. We take the fight with the insurer completely off your hands. We hold the opposing party liable, gather the evidence, and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. You stay in control, we do the work.
A motorcyclist has no bodywork, no crumple zone, and no airbag. In a collision, you almost always fall, and this frequently leads to serious injury: bone fractures, abrasions deep into the skin (motorcyclists call it 'asphalt cancer'), joint damage, head and brain injuries, or permanent disabilities. Many motorcycle accidents occur because a car driver overlooks the motorcycle when turning, takes the right of way, or suddenly changes lanes.
Never underestimate your injuries, not even in the initial shock. Always get a medical check-up and document your injuries with your GP or at the hospital. This is beneficial for your recovery and provides important evidence for your file. Do you want to know if your situation qualifies for compensation? Have your traffic accident assessed without obligation.

Legally, a motorcycle is a motor vehicle, just like a car. This means that in the event of a collision between a motorcycle and another motorized vehicle, the question of fault is assessed under the unlawful act of Article 6:162 of the Dutch Civil Code (BW). The person who commits a traffic error and thereby causes damage is liable. The special protection of Article 185 of the Road Traffic Act (WVW), which applies to cyclists and pedestrians, does not apply to you as a motorcyclist, because you are driving a motor vehicle yourself.
The core question, therefore, is: who made the mistake? If the motorist hit you because they failed to yield the right of way or overlooked you, then they are liable for your damages. Even if you played a part yourself, you can often still recover a large portion of your damages; in that case, the extent to which each party's fault contributed to the accident is assessed.
This is an important point of concern for motorcyclists. In practice, they are often wrongly blamed for (part of) the damage. A common assumption is that the motorcycle 'must have been speeding' or 'came speeding up suddenly'. Insurers like to use such footage to pay out less. Often, further investigation reveals that the motorist simply did not see the motorcyclist and failed to yield the right of way.
That is why a proper reconstruction of the accident is so important. By analyzing speeds, lines of sight, skid marks, damage patterns, and witness statements, an independent traffic accident expert can demonstrate what actually happened. Where necessary, we engage such an expert to correct the picture and minimize your involvement. So never let yourself be simply pinned on you.
Sometimes, investigations reveal that both parties played a part. In such cases, the extent to which each party's fault contributed to the accident and the resulting damage is examined. Importantly, the equity adjustment can also be applied in motorcycle accidents. In doing so, the judge takes into account that a motorcyclist, like a cyclist, is much more vulnerable than a car driver and typically sustains much more severe injuries in an accident.
That difference in vulnerability can result in you receiving compensation for a larger portion of your damages than your share in the circumstances would justify at first glance. It therefore pays to have your situation carefully assessed rather than agreeing to a quick, low estimate from the insurer.
After a motorcycle accident, you are entitled to compensation for all your damages. This is often much broader than people think, especially given the severe injuries that characterize motorcycle accidents. We distinguish two types of damage.
Material damage includes everything that can be expressed in monetary terms:
In addition, there is non-material damage: compensation for pain and suffering, an allowance for pain, grief, and lost enjoyment of life. In the case of serious and permanent injury, this can amount to a substantial sum. Would you like a first impression? Then use our personal injury calculation tool. You can find a complete overview on the compensation, and read more about compensation for your suffering under pain and suffering.

The steps you take immediately can be of great importance to your case later on, especially since the question of fault in motorcycle accidents is often a subject of debate.
The most important thing you need to know: professional assistance in the event of a motorcycle accident costs you nothing. This is regulated in Article 6:96 of the Dutch Civil Code. The reasonable costs of legal assistance are covered by your damages and, in the event of a justified claim for liability, are paid by the opposing party's insurer. Therefore, you never have to reach into your own wallet.
Why is seeking help still a wise decision? Especially in motorcycle accidents, the question of fault is often a battle. The insurer will try to shift a (larger) share onto you in order to pay less. An experienced personal injury expert knows what prejudices exist about motorcyclists, engages a reconstruction expert where necessary, and ensures that you are not shortchanged. Should it come to legal proceedings, we will engage a specialized personal injury lawyer.
Furthermore, given the severe injuries often resulting from motorcycle accidents, it is especially important not to settle too early. Only when the lasting consequences for your work, income, and daily life are clear can the full extent of the damage be properly assessed. Reaching an agreement with the insurer too quickly can cost you tens of thousands of euros. We carefully monitor that moment so that you receive what is truly due to you.
Also pay attention to the statute of limitations. A claim against the liable WAM insurer expires after three years, while the claim against the perpetrator themselves expires after five years. So do not wait too long. We are ready to assist you with a no-obligation consultation and will honestly tell you what you are entitled to.
Personal injury is more than just your medical bill. We map out all your damages — including the damages you might overlook yourself.
Deductible, physiotherapy, medication, aids, and all other costs of your recovery.
Lost salary, a lower benefit, or missed assignments because you are (partially) unable to work.
Compensation for the pain, grief, and loss of enjoyment of life caused by your injury.
The costs of help at home and for the care you need due to your injury.
Travel expenses to the doctor and hospital, and modifications to your home or car.
Damage that you continue to suffer even after the settlement, such as permanent loss of income or ongoing care.
Pain and suffering is your compensation for pain, grief, and loss of enjoyment of life. On top of that comes your material damage: medical expenses, loss of income, household help, and future damage.
The amounts below are indicative (e.g. ANWB Smartengeldgids). Your situation is unique — we calculate your full damages free of charge.
Calculate your damages| Type of injury | Pain and suffering compensation (indication) |

It is very simple: the law stipulates that the liable party — almost always an insurer — also pays the costs of your legal assistance. Therefore, you run no financial risk whatsoever and keep 100% of your compensation.
