Injury due to abuse

Claiming damages for injuries caused by assault

If you've been a victim of assault and suffered injuries and/or psychological problems as a result, you may be entitled to compensation. In that case, the perpetrator is liable for the injuries sustained as a result of the assault. The perpetrator can also be prosecuted for their aggressive actions under Article 300 of the Dutch Criminal Code.



The personal injury lawyers at Hardt Advocaten offer expert legal support to help you explore your options and, where possible, claim compensation. Our services are completely free.

Declaration

If you have suffered personal injury as a result of assault, it is important that you report the assault to the police immediately afterward. Once you have filed a report, you will usually receive confirmation. You can then claim compensation for the injuries you sustained as a result of the assault.

Compensation

You are entitled to compensation if liability is established. We will hold the other party liable on your behalf. To do this, we need as much relevant information as possible. Were you assaulted? Seek medical attention if necessary and, if possible, record contact information of witnesses and take photos, for example.

The amount of compensation depends on the extent of your injury. This can include both material and non-material damages. Material damages include loss of income due to the assault, damaged clothing, medical expenses, and household help costs. Non-material damages, also known as pain and suffering, are compensation for your grief and diminished enjoyment of life.

It's therefore important that your personal situation is thoroughly investigated. Our personal injury lawyers will assess your damages to help you claim fair compensation.

Personal Injury? From liability to compensation for injuries caused by assault

The process from claiming compensation to actually receiving it can involve several challenges. One example is negotiating with the other party's insurer regarding the extent of the compensation.

The personal injury lawyers at Hardt Advocaten take on this task with a strategic and empathetic approach, always putting your interests first. We support you throughout the legal process, while you focus on your recovery.

Transparency and communication

Open communication and a clear explanation of the process are fundamental to us. At Hardt Advocaten, we believe in transparency as the foundation of trust between clients and our lawyers. You'll remain informed and involved every step of the way, so we can work together towards a fair outcome.

We provide clarity about your rights and the options available to you after an accident. Hardt Advocaten is ready to guide you through this process, ensuring you are well-informed to make the best decisions for your situation.

Compensation for personal injury caused by assault

Your compensation for personal injury resulting from abuse can consist of several components. You may be entitled to compensation for (medical) expenses and lost income, as well as for pain and suffering (non-pecuniary damages). There is no limit to the types of damages you can receive. All adverse consequences and costs that you would not have incurred without the abuse are eligible for compensation.

Examples include:

• Lost revenue
• Medical expenses
• Domestic help required as a result of the accident
• Loss of self-reliance (jobs in, on and around the house that can no longer be carried out independently after the accident and for which assistance must be hired, such as gardening or painting)
• Compensation for pain, sorrow or reduced enjoyment of life

This list is not exhaustive – so please contact our personal injury lawyers. They will work with you to identify your damages so you receive the compensation you're entitled to.

Your options

Once liability has been established, we must substantiate your damages. This is important for determining how much damage can be recovered. In your claim for damages, you can include all costs incurred as a result of the assault. All costs you incur are eligible for compensation.

This is how we work

I'm very pleased with Hardt's services after my motorcycle accident. I was kept informed throughout the entire process. Thanks to their dedication, I received the fair compensation I was entitled to, even though I didn't realize I was entitled to it. I recommend Hardt to anyone who needs help with personal injury cases.

Thanks again Team Hardt.
