Accident as a motorist

The importance of assistance with personal injury after a car accident

A traffic accident can happen easily; accidents occur every day on Dutch roads. Have you been involved in a car accident? Then there's a good chance you've suffered personal injury. Common injuries after a car accident include back and neck pain, such as whiplash. But you can also suffer psychological problems after a car accident. Our lawyers will assess your damages and file a claim with the liable party. We offer comprehensive legal support, so you can focus on your recovery.

After a car accident, the impact can be both physical and psychological. According to a 2018 study involving 430,000 traffic victims, this was the most traumatic event of the year for 350,000 people. Approximately 40% of them suffered physical injuries as a result of the accident. Strikingly, only 7% of these victims sought legal assistance.

Personal injury encompasses not only direct physical injuries, such as fractures or bruises, but also the psychological consequences, such as stress and driving anxiety. At Hardt Advocaten, we understand the importance of quickly recognizing and treating these issues to promote a successful recovery.

The process of claiming damages in a car accident

Immediately after a car accident, it's essential to take the right steps. This includes documenting the accident, exchanging contact information, and seeking medical attention as quickly as possible. These steps are crucial for both your recovery and for recording the necessary information for a potential claim.

Legal support for personal injury

If you're injured in a motor vehicle accident, claiming compensation can be complex and time-consuming. Hardt Advocaten takes the worry out of your hands by managing the entire process, from damage assessment to the final claim.

Our personal injury lawyers will provide the necessary evidence, such as medical reports and witness statements, to support your right to compensation.

Your right to compensation after a car accident

The foundation of compensation after a car accident lies in restoring the situation to what it was like before the accident. Compensation includes not only direct medical expenses but also compensation for lost income, pain and suffering (non-pecuniary damages), and other expenses such as home help.

Hardt Advocaten strives to achieve fair compensation that covers all aspects of your personal injury. We ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. Our legal services are completely free.

Types of injuries

Personal injury can consist of physical damage, such as physical complaints or injuries, but can also manifest psychologically, for example, through changes in your mental state. The compensation you are entitled to can therefore consist of various items. Consider: reimbursement for travel expenses, medical expenses, home help, or perhaps you were unable to work for a period of time due to the accident, resulting in a loss of income. You may also be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering. This is compensation for the emotional distress you suffered as a result of the collision.

After a motor vehicle accident, you may be entitled to various forms of compensation. Hardt Advocaten provides clarity about your rights and the available compensation options. From material damage to non-material damage, we ensure you have a complete understanding of what you can claim.

Compensation can consist of various items. Possible items include loss of income, medical expenses, property damage, travel expenses, and household assistance. This list is not exhaustive: all damage caused by someone else's negligence can be included as a claim.

You can therefore claim compensation for all forms of suffering you have experienced as a victim. In addition to such material damages, you may also be entitled to compensation for non-material damages (psychological harm), which we call non-pecuniary damages.
