Accident as a motorcyclist

A motorcycle accident can easily happen. Accidents happen every day on Dutch roads. Have you been involved in an accident as a motorcyclist?

Injury after a car accident

When you think of injuries after a motorcycle accident, you might primarily think of physical injuries, such as physical ailments or wounds. But you can also suffer psychological damage from a motorcycle accident, such as difficulty sleeping or being anxious about getting back on your motorcycle.

The compensation you're entitled to can include various damages. For example, you may receive compensation for travel expenses, medical expenses, home help, or loss of income due to being unable to work. 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 motorcycle accident.

Claiming damages after a motorcycle accident

Have you been involved in a motorcycle accident? We're happy to help you assess the damage and recover the various damages from the other party. We'll work with you to assess the damage, using information such as photos of the motorcycle accident, witness statements, and medical records.



If necessary, we will engage medical advisors or other experts to prove your damages. All costs you would not have incurred without the accident are eligible for reimbursement. Therefore, it's important to keep track of your expenses from day one.

Legal help with your recovery

Types of injuries after a motorcycle accident

Hardt Advocaten offers specialized assistance in a wide range of situations, from traffic accidents to workplace accidents. Our goal is to provide each client with tailored legal support, tailored to the specific circumstances of the accident. Recognizing the diverse challenges that personal injury cases present is the first step toward a targeted approach.

If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident, you may be left with a number of complaints.

Examples of injuries include:

• Neck injury
• Whiplash
• Head injury
• Spinal cord injury
• Knee complaints
• Bone fractures
• Scars
• Mental complaints

For optimal recovery from personal injury after an accident, it's crucial to initiate appropriate medical treatments promptly to prevent further or permanent damage as much as possible. Medical treatments for personal injury include physiotherapy, rehabilitation programs, occupational therapy, and/or psychotherapy. We'll work with you to determine what you need to recover from your injury.

Claiming damages for traffic accidents, industrial accidents and other accidents

Traffic accidents represent a significant portion of personal injury cases. Whether you're involved as a driver, cyclist, pedestrian, or passenger, the consequences can be far-reaching. At Hardt Advocaten, we focus on claiming damages and providing the necessary support in the social services sector to smooth your path to recovery and improve the situation before the accident. With us, you are our priority.

Collecting evidence after a traffic accident

Collecting evidence is a critical step in claiming compensation after a car accident. Immediately after the accident, it's important to gather as much evidence as possible. This includes photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any damage to personal property. It's also crucial to gather the names and contact information of witnesses who can support your version of events.

Medical reports prepared by a doctor immediately after the accident will serve as evidence of your injuries and are invaluable in supporting your claim. We will help you gather evidence and use it to support your claim.

Shared liability in a motorcycle accident and personal injury

In situations where both parties are partly responsible for the motorcycle accident, compensation is often divided according to the degree of fault of each party. This concept of shared fault can be complex and requires a detailed analysis of the accident. Legal advice is essential in such cases to ensure a fair division of responsibility and compensation. Hardt Advocaten offers free legal support in your personal injury claim, so you get what you're entitled to.

Payment of compensation

Once the evidence has been gathered, the other party has been found liable, and the claim has been filed, the other party's insurer will launch an investigation into the motorcycle accident, and our personal injury lawyers will discuss appropriate compensation. Depending on the complexity of the case, this process can take some time. During this period, we will keep you updated on all developments.

If you've suffered personal injury, you may face additional (medical) costs. That's why we request interim advances to alleviate acute financial hardship during the personal injury claim process. The insurer will propose compensation.

We advise you on making the right choices, ensuring you receive the compensation you're entitled to. If the outcome is unsatisfactory, we can, in consultation with you, take the case to court. In many cases, however, a settlement is reached without the need for a lawsuit.

Your options

We offer comprehensive legal support, aiming to restore the situation as much as possible to its pre-accident state. Our lawyers are dedicated to ensuring your damages are fully compensated by obtaining the compensation you are entitled to.
