You have been hit as a cyclist in the Netherlands. The chance that you have suffered injuries and damages is high. As a cyclist, you are vulnerable, especially if you have been hit by a car or other motor vehicle. Fortunately, in the Netherlands, you can engage a bike accident lawyer to claim your personal injury damages.
Did you know that in the Netherlands, you always have the right to compensation in case of a bicycle accident? The only condition is that you were hit by a car, scooter, or other motor vehicle. You can read more about this on this page. Additionally, in the Netherlands, you can engage a bike accident lawyer free of charge to claim your personal injury damages resulting from a bicycle accident. In the Netherlands, this right is granted by law.
The right to free legal assistance in case of a bicycle accident is included in Article 6:96 paragraph 2 of the Dutch Civil Code. This states that the costs associated with claiming personal injury damages are part of the compensation.
In the Netherlands, you can therefore engage the legal assistance of a bike accident lawyer free of charge. They will handle everything for you, from investigating liability to claiming your personal injury damages from the liable person.
In the Netherlands, victims of bicycle accidents are particularly well protected by the legislator. This protection is even included in a legal provision, namely Article 185 of the Road Traffic Act. The first paragraph of this article reads as follows:
“If a motor vehicle driven on the road is involved in a traffic accident causing damage to persons or property not transported by that motor vehicle, the owner of the motor vehicle or – if there is a holder of the motor vehicle – the holder is obliged to compensate that damage, unless it is plausible that the accident is due to force majeure, including the case that it is caused by a person for whom the owner or holder is not liable.”
In practice, this means that if you are hit by a car, scooter, or other motor vehicle, you always have the right to compensation.
If you are hit by a motor vehicle without fault on your part, 100% of your personal injury damages will be compensated. This includes both material damages and pain and suffering. Your bike accident lawyer will claim these damages for you.
Did the cyclist run a red light or fail to yield? Even then, you as a cyclist are entitled to compensation! Under Article 185 of the Road Traffic Act, at least 50% of your personal injury damages will be compensated in this case. So even if you are partially at fault for a bicycle accident, you can claim personal injury compensation. The percentage of 50% can even increase to 100% based on the fairness correction, for example, because you have suffered serious and/or permanent injuries from the bicycle accident. Ask our bike accident lawyer about the conditions and possibilities.
Has your child under 14 been hit by a motor vehicle? Then all personal injury damages will always be compensated, no matter what happened.
The regulation of Article 185 of the Road Traffic Act only applies in case of a collision between a cyclist or pedestrian and a motorized vehicle. It does not apply if you as a cyclist are hit by another cyclist. In that case, you are only entitled to compensation if the other party is at fault for the collision.

Have you been hit as a cyclist? Then a number of things are important. First, it is important that you fill out a damage report form. On this, you can record exactly the circumstances of the collision. But witnesses are also important, for example, in case of a dispute about the circumstances of the collision and in case of hit-and-run. This way, your bike accident lawyer can easily claim your personal injury damages from the liable person.

If the other party is liable for your injury, the legal costs will be reimbursed. We recover these costs directly from the liable party. So you do not have to take into account hourly rates or unexpected costs. Our help is free of charge for you.
The length of the process depends on the severity of the injury and how quickly it becomes clear who is liable. Simple cases can be completed within a few months. In the case of complex or permanent injuries, the process can take longer. In these cases, we provide interim advances so that you do not have to wait for financial support. In any case, you will not be on your own for a moment.
Are you searching the internet for a personal injury specialist? Then you will come across a personal injury lawyer as well as a personal injury lawyer. But what is the difference between the two?
Precisely because there are unfortunately also parties active in the personal injury sector who do not always take things very seriously, it is wise to choose a recognized personal injury lawyer. This way you can be sure that you will be assisted by a specialist with legal powers, expertise and professional liability.
