Personal injury

What is personal injury? If you have been injured in an accident or are dealing with (psychological) symptoms. If so, you will incur additional costs or lose income as a result. This means you are dealing with personal injury. If the injury was caused by someone else’s fault, you are entitled to compensation. We provide accident victims with injuries with free legal assistance and advice. We claim your compensation. Because in our country the reasonable costs of legal assistance must be reimbursed by the liable party, we do not have to charge you for those costs. This makes our help free for you.

What is personal injury?

Personal injury is material and immaterial damage you may suffer as a result of physical and/or psychological injury. By material damages, we think of:

Medical expenses
Costs for domestic help
Costs for adjustments to your home
Moving expenses
Motor vehicle or bicycle
Clothing, mobile, bag, etc.
Hospitalisation
Transport costs
Adjusted holidays

In other words, all damages that can be monetised.

You have suffered personal injury

You have suffered personal injury. This affects your daily life. The first step is medical recovery. From day one, you will incur additional costs. And you may lose income because you are temporarily unable to work. You want to be compensated for all your losses. Common damages include:

Lost income
Health expenses: medical treatments and medicines
Costs for public transport
Costs for domestic help
Damaged belongings: car, bike, scooter, mobile, clothes, bag, etc
Compensation for pain and suffering

Do you want an accurate calculation of your damages? And is the other party liable for your injuries? If so, contact us immediately. We will take the legal worries off your hands and we will ensure that your damages are fully compensated. Our help is free of charge for you. We are known for our quick, decisive approach.

Claiming compensation

If you have suffered personal injury due to the fault of another party, you are entitled to compensation. The (insurer of the) other party will have to compensate your damages. We calculate your damages very accurately and file a claim for you.

Psychological complaints after an accident

Are you suffering from psychological complaints following an accident? If so, you may be entitled to compensation for these intangible damages. This is also known in the legal world as compensation for pain and suffering. A number of factors come into play when calculating damages:

Severity of injury
Rehabilitation period
How much effect does it have on your zest for life (can you still pursue your passions)?
How heavily does the accident weigh on your shoulders? (severity of trauma)
Age of the victim

The annoying thing about personal injury is that it can leave a permanent scar. Due to physical symptoms, but also psychological ones. An adapted home, adapted holidays and weekly appointments with a psychologist. Adjustments in your life that you had not anticipated. And unforeseen things always bring unforeseen costs. These unforeseen costs, related to your personal injury, can become sky-high. Therefore, it is wise to get an accurate compensation calculated. This will save you a lot of financial problems in the future.

Immaterial damage or compensation for pain and suffering

And then there is immaterial damage. This damage refers to the psychological damage suffered by the victim. These include:

Traffic trauma
Fear of dogs
Loneliness due to reduced social contacts
Grief from permanent disability that leaves you unable to work or pursue your passions
Reduced zest for life
Sleep disorders

Pain, sadness and a (temporarily) reduced zest for life all fall under the psychological damage of an accident.

Where can you get personal injury

Anyone can suffer personal injury. Outdoors or indoors. On the street, on public transport, in the park or at work. These injuries can be caused by, for example:

A traffic accident
An industrial accident
A dog bite
Or another accident

There are different types of accidents resulting in personal injury. What is certain is that it can have a major impact on your life. Personal injury always leaves its mark. Emotionally, financially or physically (e.g. a brain injury after an accident). It is therefore always wise to hire a lawyer. A lawyer who represents your interests.

Traffic accident

You may suffer personal injury as a result of a traffic accident. Someone makes a traffic error and hits you in the process. If you suffer damages as a result, JBL&G can help you claim these damages from the other party.

Are you partly to blame for the collision? Then you can still be compensated in part. The liability of both parties is then considered. Who committed which traffic error? For example, who is liable in a brain injury after an accident? And what is the severity of the personal injury? In short, who is liable for the accident and your damages?

Create a safe situation after a traffic accident.

Hit as a cyclist

Are you hit as a cyclist or pedestrian? By a motor vehicle? Then, even at your own fault, you are entitled to at least 50% compensation. Except if you behaved recklessly or in case of force majeure on the part of the motorist. Force majeure is rarely awarded in practice.

Read more about this on our page Accident with a bike. And on the page Pedestrian accident. A traffic accident can happen to anyone. Personal injury can cost you a lot of time, money and energy. Hand over your case. Enjoy the service and quality of our lawyers.

If you are the victim of an accident with a bike, you are entitled to compensation in most situations.

Workplace accident

Many accidents also happen at work. In most cases, your employer can be held liable for them. Your employer has to ensure a safe working environment. Not only that, he is also responsible for employees.

Have you been injured because of a colleague’s mistake? While performing work assigned by your employer? Then your employer can be held liable for it. Your employer is responsible for employees during working hours.

If you are injured due to a colleague's mistake, your employer can be held liable.

Occupational disease

It is also possible that you contract an occupational disease. An illness that is due to working conditions or work environment. The personal injury you may suffer:

Burnout
RSI
Worn-out back and shoulders

Of course, it could just happen that you get injured in your work environment. Your employer is usually well insured for this. Therefore, get your personal injury compensated by the employer’s insurance. You are entitled to that. Do not worry about the future working relationship. We take into account the rapport between employer and employee. If you are still working for this employer, our lawyers will try to disturb the understanding as little as possible. After all, you still need to get on with each other in that case!

If you have back pain after an accident, it is important to have your symptoms examined by a doctor.

Other accident

Have you experienced another accident, e.g. a dog bite, a product that was defective, injury from whiplash or a kick from a horse etc. and suffer personal injury as a result? Then take these personal injury claims seriously too. Even then, these accidents can scar you for life. It can be a traumatic experience.

Spinal cord injury due to accident

Things can also go badly wrong. The consequences are then sometimes incalculable. For example, suppose you suffer a spinal cord injury. One of the most serious forms of personal injury. Your whole life is then turned upside down. Just then, it is good to have an experienced and driven personal injury lawyer ensure that your entire damages are compensated.

Personal injury compensation is probably not the first thing on your mind in very serious accidents. Yet it is very important that you do pursue it. Otherwise, you may end up footing the bill yourself. In addition, you are eligible for damages. This is due to the severity of the personal injury.

Contact our experienced lawyers to get compensation for your personal injury.

If you suffer a spinal cord injury due to an accident, there is a chance you will end up in a wheelchair.

Frequently asked questions from personal injury victims

How can I file a claim for damages?

You hold the other party liable through a liability letter. This letter should highlight crucial points. So that your right to compensation does not lapse and you are compensated for all your damages. We advise you to always seek legal assistance in cases of personal injury. Only then will you get the compensation you are entitled to. It will also save you a lot of valuable time, energy and frustration. Moreover, there is no charge for our legal assistance.

Why do you advise me to seek legal assistance?

After an accident, you face a lot of misery at once. You have physical complaints, you are uncomfortable and you suffer financial losses. At the same time, you need to hold the other party liable. This is very stressful and complex. You are also entitled to free legal assistance. We can assist you free of charge because our costs are reimbursed by the liable party.

When will my compensation be paid out?

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.
