Step 3 – Holding the opposing party liable & advance payment

To receive compensation for your personal injury , you must hold the other party liable . Fortunately, you don't have to do that yourself; we're here for that.

In practice, the other party is usually insured. Your personal injury will therefore be compensated by an insurance company , not the other party themselves.

We will inform the other party about the severity of your injury, the medical consequences, and the damages you have suffered to date. We will include your additional costs and any reduction in income in a clear damage overview . This way, you will always know where you stand financially.

Based on the damage overview, we will ask the other party for an initial advance payment on your personal injury damages. If the other party accepts liability, this shouldn't take very long.

After the first advance payment, it is important that your personal injury medically assessed.

Step 2 – First contact with your personal injury specialist

Did our first contact give you a good feeling? Then we'll get to work for you right away !

The person who will be assisting you will contact you within one working day to get to know each other better and to go over everything regarding your personal injury claim with you. This meeting is also entirely without obligation and therefore free of charge.

During our conversation we will discuss – among other things:

1. the circumstances of your accident
2. the injuries you sustained and your recovery process
3. the medical complaints and limitations that have arisen as a result of your injury
4. possible disability
5. the impact of the injury on your working and private life and
6. the financial consequences of the injury and your personal injury claim for now and the future.

After our conversation, we will hold the liable party or their insurer accountable on your behalf . We will, of course, keep you updated.

Step 4 – Medical assessment

It's important to work with you a clear medical picture of your injury. Therefore, it's crucial that our own doctors have access to your doctors' reports.

In addition, this is necessary to fulfill your “burden of proof” towards the opposing party. After all, you must prove what injury you sustained. And perhaps even more importantly: what consequences does your injury have for your future?

Our own doctors will retrieve your medical information, and only after your explicit consent . Your information will never be sent to the other party without your permission.

A medical assessment of your injury is crucial for your personal injury claim. The insurer's doctors generally view your injury very differently than you and our doctors. In fact, insurers often try to deny your personal injury claim. That's why.

Step 5 – Follow-up process for personal injury compensation

Sometimes your injury doesn't go away overnight. For example, if you 've suffered broken bones , whiplash injuries , or a brain injury

It could easily take up to two years for you to fully recover. But what if you don't (fully) recover? Then the damage is permanent .

It is therefore extremely important that we continue to follow and monitor your healing process throughout this entire time. We will continually claim your additional costs and loss of income from the opposing party in the interim. As a result, you will never face financial difficulties during the duration of your personal injury claim.

Throughout the entire course of your injury, we will frequent contact . By telephone or through a home visit. Whatever you feel most comfortable with...

Through close and personal contact, we ensure you always receive what you're entitled to: the most carefully calculated and carefully detailed personal injury compensation.

Step 6 – Settlement of your personal injury claim

We will work with you to calculate your personal injury compensation. This compensation will consist of your total personal injury damages.

Have you fully recovered? Then it concerns the damage that you may not yet have received full compensation for. But you are also entitled to compensation for pain and suffering.

If, unexpectedly, you haven't fully recovered, attention will also be paid to any injuries you may suffer in the (distant) future .

Some aspects of your personal injury may even require compensation from the other party well into old age (for example, 70 years or longer)

We will prepare a proposal with you for the settlement of your personal injury claim. If you agree to this, we will claim this amount from the opposing party . This involves a lump sum payment covering your full personal injury damages – including for the future.

It's these types of personal injury cases in particular that discussions with the opposing party , simply because the damages awarded involve relatively high personal injury compensation.
