An accident can have a major impact on your life. You may suffer from physical pain, emotional stress, medical appointments, loss of income or uncertainty about your recovery. If the accident was caused by someone else, you may be entitled to compensation.
As a personal injury lawyer in Amsterdam, we help you understand your legal position. We look at what happened, who may be liable and what damage can be claimed. This includes medical costs, travel expenses, loss of income, household help and compensation for pain and suffering.
We often assist people who are not familiar with the Dutch legal system. Whether you live in Amsterdam, work here or were visiting The Netherlands when the accident happened, we can help you take the right steps.
Amsterdam creates its own accident risks. A cyclist may be hit while crossing tram tracks, a pedestrian may be injured near a busy junction, or a passenger may be hurt in a taxi or rideshare accident in the city centre. We also assist after scooter collisions, delivery-bike accidents, workplace incidents and falls caused by unsafe premises.
Do not wait too long after an accident. Evidence, medical records and witness details can be important for your claim.

Accidents frequently happen where cars, cyclists, scooters and pedestrians cross each other. Think of a bicycle collision at a busy intersection, a turning vehicle that overlooks a cyclist or a pedestrian hit while crossing.
Read more about traffic accidentsTram rails, crowded cycle lanes and unexpected traffic movements can cause serious bicycle accidents. Liability may lie with another road user, an employer or another responsible party.
Read more about bicycle accidentsVisitors and expats often travel by taxi or rideshare. If you were injured as a passenger, you may still be entitled to compensation even when you were not driving.

Read more about work injuryWe regularly assist international clients after accidents in Amsterdam. The situations below reflect the types of personal injury cases we handle and the practical issues that can arise.
An international employee cycles to work and is hit by a car turning across the cycle lane. The cyclist suffers a shoulder injury, cannot work for several weeks and needs help at home. The claim may include medical expenses, loss of income, household assistance and pain and suffering.
A visitor is struck by a scooter while crossing near a busy tram stop. Because the victim lives abroad, arranging medical documentation and communicating with the Dutch insurer becomes complicated. We help organise the evidence and handle the claim in English.
A passenger suffers neck and back complaints after a collision involving a taxi. Even though the passenger did not cause the accident, the insurer may ask for extensive information or make an early offer. The full consequences should be assessed before settlement.
A foreign worker falls from unsafe equipment on a renovation project. The employer may be liable if proper protection, instructions or supervision were missing. Compensation can also include future loss of earnings when the injury affects the employee’s ability to continue working.
A bicycle or scooter courier is injured while making a delivery. Depending on the circumstances, the road user who caused the accident, the employer or another party may be responsible. It is important to preserve route data, witness details and medical records.
A guest slips on a wet floor or falls because a staircase is unsafe. The owner or operator may be liable when the premises were not reasonably safe or when there was no proper warning.

Injury Lawyer makes the process clear. We explain your options in English, help you collect the right information and communicate with the liable party or insurer on your behalf.
This is especially important if your injury affects your work, study, family life or ability to travel. A claim should not only cover the first expenses, but also the consequences that continue after the accident.
