Our history
Nice to meet you
From a small "family home office" in 2000, we have grown into a renowned national personal injury law firm with three offices and more than 20 personal injury specialists and their assistants.
Your personal injury and Van der Toorn Personal Injury
Van der Toorn Personal Injury has been in existence since 2000 and is a renowned national personal injury law firm with offices in Voorburg (ZH), Ede (Gld), Bredevoort (Achterhoek).
We stand for high-quality legal services combined with a pleasant, accessible approach. Throughout the years, we have consistently ensured that our clients receive fair compensation for personal injury.
We have explicitly chosen to offer legal assistance only to victims of personal injury. Our firm is therefore completely independent of insurance companies and their affiliated offices.
More than 25 personal injury specialists and their assistants are ready to assist you – completely free of charge – with your personal injury claim and everything that comes with it.
Among the first agencies with the Personal Injury Quality Mark
Because anyone who wants to can call themselves a personal injury specialist, personal injury expert or personal injury expert, you should be careful who you hire.
If you type "personal injury" into Google, you'll get about half a million results. Because there are unfortunately not enough qualified advocates in the Netherlands, you run the risk of entrusting your personal injury claim to the "wrong kind" of personal injury firm.
Van der Toorn Personal Injury expressly distances itself from this type of unskilled personal injury specialists.
That's why, in January 2008, we were among the first firms to be awarded the Personal Injury Quality Mark. The Personal Injury Quality Mark is recommended by Victim Support Netherlands, among others, and it's not awarded just like that.
Our history: the human dimension
The current Van der Toorn Personal Injury Group.
From a “small family office at home,” we grew in a decade into a highly expert and client-oriented personal injury firm with more than 20 employees and 2 branches throughout the Netherlands.
Growth was never a goal in itself. It simply happened naturally. As we always say:
“Treat your clients’ personal injury claims the way you would want your loved ones’ personal injury claims treated.”
It may sound “simple,” but it works!
Our history: the human dimension
In order to provide even more personalized service to the increasing number of personal injury victims in Overijssel and the Gelderse Achterhoek region, Letselschade Oost was established in 2010 and is located in Bredevoort.
This initiative also proved to meet the needs of personal injury victims, as Letselschade Oost was a success from day one.
Our history: the human dimension
Around 2004, we needed office space in Ede. We found it in a prestigious building. That same year, we also hired our first secretary and personal injury lawyers.
Over the years, we've done everything we can to maintain our core values. To our great satisfaction, we've succeeded. Our customer base has only grown over the years.
We were one of the first companies to receive the Personal Injury Quality Mark, and we have consistently succeeded in attracting the best personal injury lawyers and (registered) experts.
Our history: the human dimension
In 2000, Rolf van der Toorn and his wife Mirjam van der Toorn-Bos founded our company. Together, they began in the attic of their then-home in Leidschendam. Rolf and Mirjam's approach quickly proved successful...
Sadly, Mirjam is no longer with us. She passed away after a courageous illness. Mirjam was instrumental in the success of our company. We are proud of her!
Our history: the human dimension
Due to the business success, our company grew and we moved to our first office building on Parkweg in Voorburg.
In 2003, Floris de Bruin joined the company as a partner, and we established our Ede branch. Initially, we also operated from Floris de Bruin's home there.
As a company, we continued on our chosen path. We maintain excellent knowledge of personal injury law, are customer-focused to the highest degree, and communicate honestly and transparently with our clients and other clients.
This approach proved to ensure that the growth of our company continued.
Absolutely, our help is truly FREE.
Your counterparty is also obligated to reimburse your legal costs (i.e., our firm's fees). This is stipulated by law (Section 6:96 of the Dutch Civil Code).
upfront written cost guarantee with a clear explanation. This also clearly states what you can expect from us and what we can expect from you.
We guarantee that the liable party will reimburse our costs. If they don't, it's our business risk. You'll never receive a bill from us. We promise!

It's best not to wait too long to file a personal injury claim. It's best to do so immediately after the accident.
Even if it is not yet clear at that time what your injury and its financial consequences consist of.
However, someone else must liable and must have taken out liability insurance for this (AVP/AVB/WA).
However, even if you caused the accident yourself, you can sometimes still claim compensation for personal injury. For example, if you SVI (Passenger Injury Insurance) or SVO (Opzittende Inschadende).

But what is: as quickly as possible?
Sometimes an insurance company will contact you very shortly after the accident. They'll ask how you're doing and also ask for all sorts of other information.
You cannot know whether that insurer is asking “too many questions” from a legal perspective. About your health before the accident and which doctors you visited. You would rather avoid that, wouldn't you? So never wait too long to engage a personal injury firm.

In addition, you are always entitled to compensation for pain and suffering, also known as non-material damages.
This is compensation for "loss of enjoyment of life." Your damages should compensate you for your grief, pain, and anything else that might have made you less happy than before the accident.
Unfortunately, Dutch law is not generous in awarding damages for pain and suffering. Therefore, the amounts awarded in the Netherlands are not considered "fair enough.".

Calculating non-pecuniary damages:
You are always entitled to compensation for pain and suffering. This is the "non-pecuniary component" of your personal injury compensation.
What is non-pecuniary damages?
Pain and suffering compensation is not in itself a “hard legal term”. It is compensation for damage that cannot be expressed in monetary terms.
So, everything that doesn't fall under additional costs or lost income. It's essentially compensation for your "mental damage.".
How to calculate non-pecuniary damages
People often ask us at the very beginning of their personal injury case how much compensation they are entitled to.
That question is actually impossible to answer. And any personal injury lawyer who claims otherwise is mistaken.
When can you calculate my non-pecuniary damages?
Your compensation for pain and suffering can only be definitively determined at the end of your personal injury case.
Only then will it be known what psychological consequences your injury has had and/or will have for you.
Because it is the psychological consequences that largely determine your compensation for non-pecuniary damages.
Important factors in calculating non-pecuniary damages
Important factors for calculating your non-pecuniary damages include:
