Frequently asked questions about personal injury

Your compensation will be paid out when you have reached the final medical condition. In other words: as soon as you have recovered from your injury. Or if there is no longer any prospect of further recovery. In the meantime, our lawyers can arrange an advance payment for you to cover your expenses.

Our lawyers can provide you with a very accurate estimate without any obligation. The amount of your compensation will depend on your specific situation. It looks at the accident, your injuries and your personal situation.

You are entitled to compensation if someone else can be held liable for your personal injury. For example, you could think of your employer in a workplace accident, the owner of a dog in a bite wound, the municipality in a loose paving stone, and so on. An experienced lawyer can investigate for you who can be held liable in your specific situation.

How long it takes to receive compensation depends on the other party and your recovery period. If the other party cooperates immediately, the process is faster.

If you seek legal help, your lawyer will demand an advance payment for you in the meantime.

As a personal injury victim, you are always entitled to compensation for pain and suffering when you are entitled to compensation.

Imagine, for example, that you cannot run the marathon you have been training for all year. Or even never be able to run properly again. Compensation for pain and suffering is for this: for the pain and emotional damage you experience because of the accident.

The amount of the pain and suffering compensation cannot be finally determined until you have recovered as much as possible from your injuries. You will therefore only receive this compensation, including the rest of the damages, in your bank account when your case is settled. You will therefore receive the maximum compensation for pain and suffering.

Compensation is the full amount you will receive after an accident. This compensation consists of all the expenses you incurred as a result of the accident, including missed income, medical expenses and domestic help.
