Statistically speaking, there is a high probability that you, as a driver, will have a moped accident and suffer (serious) injuries.
Your injury has not only medical consequences, but also financial ones. The more severe your injury, the greater your financial losses. Perhaps not immediately, but they will be as your recovery takes longer. And what if your injury also affects your future, both in terms of education and work?
After a moped accident, it is often wise to legal assistance . And do not worry about the costs. These must also be reimbursed by the opposing party, separate from your own compensation.
Asking for advice is always helpful. We know everything about personal injury resulting from a moped accident. So we can quickly tell you what to expect and what your best course of action is. Our advice is 100% free and without obligation.
Moped accident due to someone else's fault
If someone else is responsible for your moped accident, you should be compensated not only for your material damage, but also for your personal injury (additional costs, lost income, pain and suffering).
Your damages must be compensated by the other party. Usually, the other party is insured for your damages, and you will be dealing with a professional insurer.
The insurer might think you were at fault, too. You might have been speeding, not wearing a helmet, or riding in the wrong spot.
In those cases, liability becomes a concern. And they don't want to compensate you for your personal injury damages in full.
If that happens after a moped accident, you'd better start thinking about legal help right away. Because there's a good chance you'll lose that argument with the insurer.
But even if you are compensated for 100% of your damages, a dispute can still arise. This could be about the amount of your compensation. Even then, it's best to seek legal assistance immediately.
By the way, did you know that our legal assistance costs you nothing? Our costs must also be covered by the other party, separately from your own compensation claim.
Passenger always receives compensation
Were you a passenger in the moped accident? Then you'll almost always receive 100% compensation. As a passenger , you're not at fault for the moped accident.
But even then, it's important to seek legal assistance. You don't know how everything works and how your compensation is determined.
We're happy to tell you, with no obligation, what's best for you. Then you can decide for yourself what to do with our advice. Pretty safe, right?

With Passenger Injury Insurance (SVO insurance), you'll receive compensation for your injuries in the same way as if someone else were liable. If you have SVO insurance, this will always be stated on your policy.

After an injury-related moped accident, always seek advice. We can tell you exactly what to do and whether you need assistance determining your compensation.
Our advice is always 100% free and without obligation. Afterward, you can decide for yourself what to do with it.

More information about personal injury after a moped accident
Your financial losses can quickly mount up!
All the "damages" you face after a moped accident must be assessed individually and throughout your entire personal injury claim process. It's also possible that the other party may have very different views on your financial loss than you do.
Calculating personal injury damages after a moped accident is very complicated, and you simply can't do it yourself. Especially not if your injuries are more serious and you suffer financial losses.
For more serious injuries, it's not just about your losses in the period immediately following the moped accident. It often also involves future losses.
That is why it can sometimes take several years before your compensation can be definitively calculated.
If your personal injury damages are substantial, you really can't do without legal assistance. Calculating your total personal injury damages (including future damages) is legally complex and difficult.
Insurers: often a hassle after a moped accident
After a moped accident, you'll almost always have to deal with a professional insurer as the other party. They'll quickly become difficult, not only about who was responsible for the damage, but also about the amount of your compensation.
The more severe your injury, the greater your financial losses. An insurer will always try, even if only subconsciously, to avoid (fully) compensating you for your damages.
That's why it's crucial for you to seek legal assistance as soon as possible after a moped accident. Only then can you be sure there's someone who's looking out for your interests. And that you'll get what you're entitled to: maximum compensation.
You also have to ask yourself whether you really want to deal with all that “legal hassle.” Wouldn’t you much rather leave that to the people who know about such things?
Because the legal costs (read: our costs) are part of your compensation, you can safely seek legal assistance. It's 100% FREE for you.
Always ask for advice. It's 100% free of obligation. You'll hear immediately about your compensation and your rights. You can then decide for yourself what to do with our advice!

However, someone else must liable and must have taken out liability insurance for this (AVP/AVB/WA).

What personal injury compensation amounts am I entitled to?
The personal injury compensation amounts you are entitled to are:
Allowances for additional assistance, such as:
- household help, shopping, taking children to school, etc.
- help in the garden and
- help with the maintenance and painting of your home.
In addition, your personal injury may have consequences for your income, such as:
- income that is not fully paid (self-employed person, temporary worker, zero-hour contract, etc.)
- no more irregular hours allowance
- no longer being able to work overtime
- missed promotions and
- missed pension accrual
Finally, you can consider other equally important personal injury compensation amounts, such as:
- Study delay
- Reintegration costs for guidance to other work
- Costs associated with admission to a hospital or rehabilitation center
- Travel expenses
- Medical expenses
- Non-pecuniary damages
- Economic vulnerability
- Statutory interest
- Furthermore, all costs that you would not have incurred without the accident…
- For example, the wages you did not receive because you could not go to work.
- Gasoline because you had to go to the hospital or the physiotherapist.
- Medicines that were covered by your deductible.
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
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:
- the nature of your injury
- the severity of your injury
- your age
- your gender
- your level of consciousness
- whether you will have permanent scars and where those scars are located
- whether you have physical limitations that affect your quality of life
- how much pain have you suffered and continue to suffer
- how long your recovery period was and
- whether you have recovered at all or whether there is permanent damage.
Indication calculation of non-pecuniary damages:
We cannot predict exactly how much your compensation for non-pecuniary damages will be.
What we can do is give you a general indication of the amount of your compensation for pain and suffering.
If this sounds appealing, contact us today for a free, honest consultation. Afterward, you can decide for yourself what to do with it.

Stories from the field
I received excellent help with my personal injury claim and it cost me nothing!
One Sunday, I was hit by a car. A car didn't give me the right of way and hit my right leg. I fell off my bike and immediately knew something was wrong.
The ambulance took me to the hospital. I had to have surgery right away. Pins and plates in my leg, almost a year of rehabilitation, but it never fully recovered.
