When you sustain a personal injury, you are often left with many questions. An experienced personal injury expert will assist you with free advice and has answers to all your questions. If you cannot find your answer below, you can of course always contact Letsolv.

What is personal injury?

Personal injury is the personal damage you experience after an accident caused by someone else. This damage can be both psychological and physical. If you have sustained personal injury due to someone else, you can investigate whether you are entitled to compensation. You can engage a personal injury agency for this purpose.

A personal injury agency investigates your case and can help you with filing a claim for compensation.

How important is evidence?

To determine a potential compensation, all items of loss resulting from the accident are listed. Being able to prove that an item of loss is a consequence of the accident is very important here. Without evidence, the opposing party could question the attribution of an item to the accident. This can subsequently lead to a lower compensation.

Why is claiming often free of charge?

In many cases, claiming compensation ultimately costs the victim nothing. This is because, in most cases, the opposing party’s insurer also reimburses all (legal) costs for the victim’s claims procedure.

Do I always need a Personal Injury Expert?

You are not obliged to engage a personal injury lawyer to claim compensation. However, an experienced personal injury agency has all the necessary knowledge to assess whether you are entitled to compensation and to guide you through this process. Without this specialist knowledge, it is not easy to calculate all future losses and arrive at a correct compensation. Furthermore, you pay nothing for this guidance yourself because, if the opposing party is at fault, all these costs are reimbursed by their insurer. At Letsolv, we employ specialists who have also worked for insurers and therefore speak the insurer’s language. Our personal injury experts help you through the entire compensation process. What can you claim and what is achievable? These are questions you can bring to Letsolv.

Does Letsolv operate throughout the Netherlands?

Yes, our personal injury experts travel throughout the Netherlands daily and will visit you wherever you live in the country, including the Wadden Islands. Following the initial consultation, we determine for you whether the damage can be compensated and, subsequently, which damages qualify for compensation.

Can I also recover personal injury damages from an animal bite from the owner?

Yes, personal injury from a dog bite or a bite from any pet can qualify for compensation. If it concerns someone else’s pet, Letsolv can hold the pet owner’s insurer liable. Should it involve your own pet, please also contact us so that we can find out together whether you are insured for it. Pet bites can cause serious damage and we advise you to always contact your GP immediately. Read more here about personal injury compensation after a dog bite.

What if I do not yet know exactly which damages I can recover?

After an accident, it can sometimes take a long time before your damages are definitively established. Only after we have determined, together with medical experts, that your situation will not change further, is the final balance of damages drawn up. It is therefore logical that you do not yet know the extent of the damage shortly after an accident. It is important, however, that you involve Letsolv as soon as possible, so that we can record all damages and evidence along the way and support you in finding help focused on your recovery. In this way, we can provide maximum guidance throughout the entire process of personal injury recovery.

What is the difference between a personal injury lawyer and a personal injury legal professional or expert?

The vast majority of personal injury cases are resolved through negotiation with insurers. Less than 2% require legal proceedings. The personal injury experts at Letsolv are mostly lawyers and/or NIVRE experts who have often worked for insurers and therefore know exactly how to negotiate with them to obtain optimal compensation for you. But if it is truly necessary for a successful result in your file, Letsolv will engage an LSA personal injury lawyer for you. You don’t have to search for one yourself.

Do I have to pay tax on personal injury compensation?

Compensation for personal injury is a reimbursement for past suffering and sometimes also future suffering and costs you have yet to incur. In principle, this compensation is not seen as Box 1 income, but sometimes you do have to pay wealth tax in Box 3 on it. When recovering damages, Letsolv experts take this into account in the calculation of the total loss. Click here for more information on personal injury compensation and paying tax.
