What Does a Personal Injury Attorney Do?

A personal injury attorney assists victims in obtaining compensation for injuries caused by someone else’s negligence. Whether you’ve been hurt in a traffic accident, workplace incident, or due to medical malpractice, we fight for your rights. Our personal injury attorneys handle the entire legal process, from establishing liability to negotiating maximum compensation.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Investigating your accident and gathering evidence
  • Determining liability and responsible parties
  • Calculating fair compensation for all damages
  • Negotiating with insurance companies
  • Representing you in court if needed

The law states that hiring a personal injury attorney must be free for victims. This means the liable party’s insurance company pays our legal fees, so you pay nothing for specialized help!

Our process begins with determining who is liable for your injuries. We then map out damages and file claims to secure appropriate compensation. With 15+ years of experience and LSA certification, we ensure your interests are fully protected throughout the entire process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Attorneys

Nothing! The law guarantees that personal injury attorney fees are paid by the liable party’s insurance company, not by you.

Unlike “no cure no pay” firms that take 20-30% of your compensation, we bill insurers directly.

This means you keep 100% of your settlement – every euro goes to your recovery, not legal fees.

Whether your case settles for €5,000 or €500,000, our personal injury attorney services cost you absolutely nothing.

A skilled personal injury attorney ensures you receive compensation for ALL damages:

  • Medical expenses (including future treatments)
  • Lost income and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering damages
  • Travel costs to medical appointments
  • Household help and home modifications
  • Property damage (vehicle, clothing, belongings)
  • Psychological counseling if needed

Insurance companies often “forget” to mention certain damages – that’s why having an experienced attorney matters.

Even partial fault doesn’t eliminate your right to compensation.

Dutch law uses comparative negligence rules that our personal injury attorneys navigate expertly.

If you’re 30% at fault, you still receive 70% of damages.

Special protections exist for cyclists and pedestrians – even with partial fault, you often receive full compensation.

Don’t let insurers convince you that partial fault means no compensation.

While legal expenses insurance seems logical, it’s rarely the best choice for personal injury cases.

These insurers use standard procedures and volume practices that may not maximize your compensation.

Specialized personal injury attorneys like Munten Letselschade provide personalized attention and typically achieve higher settlements.

Since our services cost you nothing anyway, there’s no financial advantage to using legal expenses insurance.
