Which personal injury damages are compensated?

Compensation consists of many different types of damages. These personal injury damages are divided into two main categories: material damages and immaterial damages, also known as pain and suffering.

Material damages include all personal injury damages that can be quantified in monetary terms. This can include medical costs. After a car accident, bicycle accident, or work accident, you are often seen in the hospital or treated by a physiotherapist. The costs associated with this are eligible for compensation.

An accident in traffic or at work can also result in disability. This can lead to loss of income, and this damage is eligible for compensation. Are you a student or pupil? Then there may also be damages due to study delays. If someone else is liable for the accident, these damages are eligible for compensation.

Other costs that are part of material damages include:

  • Travel expenses
  • Costs for household help
  • Maintenance costs for your home and garden
  • Costs incurred during a hospital stay
  • Repair or replacement costs for your mobile phone
  • Car or bicycle damage
  • Costs without benefit, such as a gym membership that you can no longer use due to the accident

In addition to material damages, you are also entitled to pain and suffering compensation. You are always entitled to pain and suffering if you have been injured or have complaints as a result of an accident. Pain and suffering is compensation for the suffering caused to you by a third party. This can include pain, anxiety, grief, and psychological complaints.

Claiming personal injury damages after a collision

Have you been involved in a car collision or were you hit as a cyclist by a car or other motor vehicle? Then you can claim personal injury compensation. If you were hit by a motor vehicle, the personal injury claim can be filed directly with the personal injury insurer.

To claim personal injury damages resulting from a traffic accident, it is important that you can prove that the other party is at fault for the collision. You can do this by:

  • Filling out and signing a damage report form
  • Asking witnesses for a witness statement
  • Taking photos of the accident location
  • Calling the police in case of a hit-and-run
  • Visiting a doctor with your injuries

With this information, you help your personal injury lawyer with claiming your personal injury compensation. Your personal injury lawyer will handle the rest. We will hold the other party liable, arrange an advance payment for you once liability is acknowledged, and your personal injury lawyer will negotiate with the insurance company about the amount of your compensation.

Claiming personal injury damages after a work accident

Are you working in the Netherlands and have you been involved in a work accident? In the Netherlands, employers have a duty of care. This means that the employer must do everything possible to prevent you from sustaining injuries at work. This duty of care includes, among other things, that the employer:

  • Ensures that you can perform your work safely
  • Provides sufficient safety instructions, in writing and in your own language
  • Provides adequate supervision of the work activities

If the employer does not fulfill their duty of care, you can hold the employer liable for your personal injury damages. This is called employer liability.

Have you sustained injuries from a work accident? You only need to prove that you had an accident during work. It is then up to the employer to prove that they have fulfilled their duty of care. Case law shows that in most cases, the employer is liable for the personal injury damages you have suffered.

This is how we help you step by step

Are you curious about how we guide you after an accident? In this short video we explain what you can expect from us, from the first intake to the final compensation.

Echt een top bureau! Ik ben Zeer tevreden met mevrouw Hajar el Haddad. Ze is altijd erg betrokken geweest en gaat door tot de beste resultaat wordt behaald! Ook op momenten dat ik niet wist welke kant ik op moest, is mevrouw El Haddad er altijd voor mij geweest. 1 ding is zeker. Met mevrouw Haddad als advocaat sta je er nooit alleen voor en hoef je niet om te kijken. In letsel zaken is het naar mijn mening vooral belangrijk dat er iemand aan je zij staat die vecht tot het einde. Iemand die zich niet klein laat maken, en dapper strijd net of het haar/zijn eigen zaak is. Dit is bij mevrouw El Haddad zeker het geval. Ik wens niemand een ongeluk toe, maar als het je overkomt is mevrouw el Haddad de advocaat die je nodig hebt. Dat garandeer ik je!

Mijn vakantie naar Spanje nam een plotse wending toen ik een auto-ongeval meemaakte. Ik heb mijn vakantie moeten staken en ben helaas terug naar huis moeten gaan.Jurist MooyMan&Partners in arm genomen maar naar enige tijd kwamen ze er achter dat de zaak te groot voor hun was. Toen zoeken naar letselschade juristen en bij de heer Blanken terecht gekomen.Ik ben erg blij en opgelucht dat de heer Blanken mijn zaak wilde aannemen.De communicatie verliep vlot en hij hield mij goed op de hoogte van het verloop van de zaak. Met een mooi resultaat aan het einde.

In één woord ''GEWELDIG''!!!Ik word sinds kort bijgestaan door W.Blanken (Willem Blanken Law) en wat een verademing!Letterlijk mijn redder in Nood!Na 3 jaar lang getouwtrek en niet begrepen, niet gehoord, niet gesteund en niet (echt) geholpen te worden door diverse ''lestelschadespecialisten'' de overstap gemaakt naar ''Brugman Letselschade Advocaten''.Tot de dag van vandaag ben ik hen (als zelfstandig ondernemer) eeuwig dankbaar dat ze mij hebben gekoppeld aan Dhr. W.Blanken en zijn zeer bekwame team van ( o.a. medisch en financieel) experts!!!Niet alleen heb ik nu rust, duidelijkheid, steun, (echte) hulp en perspectief in de gehele situatie, maar het aller belangrijkste is dat ik nu exact krijg waar ik recht op heb en Dhr. Blanken (in tegenstelling van de div. letselschadespecialisten) puur en alleen voor mijn belangen vecht en strijdt!Ik kan het iedereen aanraden die op zoek is naar (echte) hulp, duidelijkheid, rust en perspectief omtrent het (juridische en financiële) gedeelte van zijn of haar letselschadezaak!Je word (echt) gehoord, (echt) geholpen en (echt) begrepen!!

Absoluut ongelofelijk! Ik ben overgestapt naar Brugman Letselschade na een zeer teleurstellende ervaring bij een ander advocatenkantoor. Het verschil in service, bekwaamheid en professionaliteit was ongelooflijk. Ik zou niet aarzelen om dit bedrijf aan te bevelen. Ik werd constant op de hoogte gehouden van de voortgang van mijn zaak, werd goed geadviseerd en had altijd het gevoel dat ik een sterke en ervaren bondgenoot aan mijn zijde had.Ik kan Mvr El Haddad en haar collega's niet genoeg aanbevelen of bedanken! Heel veel, heel veel dank 🙂

Personal injury damages resulting from a dog bite

Have you been bitten by a dog? This happens 130,000 times a year in the Netherlands. You can sustain unpleasant and even permanent injuries from a dog bite. This can result in damages. But who is liable for personal injury damages from a dog bite?

Liability for animals is regulated in Article 6:179 of the Dutch Civil Code. This article holds the owner of the animal liable for the personal injury damages you have suffered as a result of the dog bite. You can therefore hold the dog owner liable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Work accident lawyer

  1. 1
    How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?

    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.

  2. 2
    How long does a personal injury claim process take?

    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.

  3. 3
    What is the difference between a personal injury lawyer and a personal injury attorney?

    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?

    • A personal injury lawyer has always completed a university education, a personal injury lawyer has not.
    • Personal injury lawyers are allowed to litigate in all courts, lawyers are not.
    • Lawyers are subject to strict supervision by the Dutch Bar Association, which does not apply to lawyers. There is no independent supervision of their working methods or quality.

    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.

  4. 4
    What quality marks does a good personal injury lawyer have?

    The LSA quality mark is the quality mark for personal injury lawyers in the Netherlands. Only lawyers with years of experience and a strict education may call themselves LSA lawyers. In addition to the LSA quality mark, there is the specialist register of the Dutch Bar Association. This also indicates that the lawyer has demonstrable expertise in personal injury law. Brugman Personal Injury Lawyers employs specialized personal injury lawyers who meet these requirements.
