If you have been hit on your scooter, you are entitled to compensation in most situations.

Liability scooter accident: who is at fault?

In a collision between two scooters or a scooter and a vehicle, the party who broke the traffic rules is liable. If the other party was at fault, this must be proved by you. The stronger the evidence, the higher the chances of compensation.

  • Always call the police
  • Provide a fully completed and signed claim form
  • Ask witnesses for a written statement

Scooter driver liable

This is to prove in writing that the other scooter driver is liable. And you will receive full compensation for your damages. In almost all cases, the driver is third-party insurance. The other party’s insurer will reimburse your personal injury.

See your doctor as soon as possible. Record all the expenses you incur. This is very important when claiming compensation. Insurers make every effort to keep the total damages after a moped accident as low as possible. The same goes for a moped accident. We know the modus operandi and excuses of insurers. Therefore, let us handle the legal discussion. This will result in the highest possible compensation for you.

Liability scooter accident: both at fault

If both scooter drivers made a traffic error, there is ‘own fault’. In that case, damages will be apportioned. If both parties are at fault (both are at fault), there is also a chance of compensation. Legally, it will have to be determined who gets what share of the damages. Click here and enter your details and we will calculate exactly how much damage you can claim.

Dispute with third-party insurer

After a scooter accident, the other party/insurer is obliged to compensate your damages. Does the other party’s liability insurer refuse:

  • Acknowledge liability?
  • Account for your injuries?
  • Accept your claim?

If so, contact us immediately. We will enter the discussion and know how to get the insurer to pay. We are also happy to assist you with other problems or a dispute with an insurer. We provide victims with free legal assistance and advice in personal injury cases. We do not charge you any fees; you will receive an explanation of this in advance.

Is the scooter rider who caused the accident uninsured? If so, we can file a claim for you with the Waarborgfonds Motorverkeer, the Motoric Traffic Guarantee Fund for you. A special fund for these type of accidents. Our legal assistance is free of charge. As this is an extensive procedure, we are happy to inform you personally about the conditions of claiming compensation through this special fund. Read here why we can handle your case free of charge.

Perpetrator or unknown

Did the driver of the scooter that caused the accident drive on? It is possible that we will file a claim for compensation for you with the Motor Traffic Guarantee Fund. Our assistance is free of charge. As this is an extensive procedure, we are happy to inform you personally about the conditions of claiming compensation through this special fund.

Dispute with insurer

The other party’s insurer will make every effort to pay the lowest possible amount of compensation. The amount of personal injury compensation is usually minimal. In practice, the compensation offered will be disproportionate to the damage you suffer and the suffering you are going through. Therefore, our lawyers will do everything they can to convince the insurer to reconsider the proposal. We claim the highest compensation possible. For victims, we carry out our legal work free of charge.

Complete damages: this is what you can claim

Has liability been definitively established? Then you are entitled to compensation. All costs incurred and lost income must be compensated. Based on specific questions, we know how to claim the maximum compensation for victims time and again.

This is how it works:

  1. We accurately assess your current and future damages.
  2. From that calculation, we arrive at the total damages.
  3. We include this total amount in the claim.
  4. We send the claim to the (insurer of the) other party.
  5. This party must pay this claim immediately.

If it turns out to be a long-term claim, our personal injury specialists will ask your counterparty to make an advance payment on your damages as soon as possible. At the end of the personal injury case, the full compensation will be transferred directly to your own bank account. You can get an advance payment at an early stage.

Compensation for scooter riders consists of:

  • Travel expenses
  • Study delay
  • Repair costs or replacement of defective scooter
  • Compensation for buying new clothes
  • Compensation for damage to telephone
  • Compensation for excess and hospitalisation costs / other medical costs

  • Compensation for assistance with housework, shopping
  • Compensation for assistance with garden work, house maintenance
  • Compensation for pain and suffering
  • Missed pension accrual
