Inhoudsopgave
A pedestrian accident claim covers both material damages and non-material damages.
Material damages include medical expenses, travel costs and loss of income.
Non-material damages consist of pain and suffering compensation (general damages).
Common injuries in pedestrian accidents include fractures, head and neck injuries (including whiplash), knee or ankle injuries and psychological trauma.
A specialist injury lawyer from Brugman can assist you free of charge in recovering compensation. Under Dutch law, the reasonable legal costs must be paid by the liable party.

Dutch law provides enhanced legal protection for pedestrians. If you are struck by a motor vehicle, the driver is generally liable for at least 50% of the damages.
Even if there is partial contributory negligence, pedestrians are often still entitled to compensation.

Before you start working with a personal injury lawyer, you naturally want to know how others experience our legal assistance. You can read independent opinions about our personal injury lawyers below.

In most cases, the driver of the motor vehicle is liable under Dutch road traffic law. Compensation is paid by the driver’s motor insurance (WAM insurer).
Because you were injured as a pedestrian, you are generally entitled to at least partial compensation, even if you crossed on a red light or at an unauthorised crossing.
This protective rule also applies when pedestrians are struck by a tram.

We take care of the entire liability process for you. This includes gathering evidence such as witness statements, police reports and accident forms, and handling all correspondence with the insurer.
You do not have to deal with the insurer alone.
