Calculating compensation

Compensation for pain and suffering, known as “smartengeld” in Dutch, is a financial compensation for non-material damages such as pain, sorrow, and loss of enjoyment of life that you have suffered due to an accident. At Letselschade Advocaat Amsterdam, we understand how profoundly personal injury can affect your life. That’s why we are committed to ensuring you receive fair compensation for your suffering.

Why is compensation important?

Compensation for pain and suffering is crucial because it acknowledges that your injury goes beyond just physical harm. It compensates for the emotional and psychological impact the accident has had on you. This can range from chronic pain and stress to anxiety and depression. A fair compensation helps you to restore the quality of your life.

How is compensation for pain and suffering calculated?

Calculating compensation for pain and suffering is a complex process influenced by several factors, such as:


  • The severity of the injury
  • The duration of the recovery
  • The impact on your daily life

At Letselschade Advocaat Amsterdam, we use our extensive experience and legal expertise to make an accurate calculation of your compensation for pain and suffering. We consider all aspects of your situation to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

Het contact met Liane Foe heb ik als zeer prettig ervaren. Na het eerste gesprek had ik er gelijk een goed gevoel bij. Ze is emphatisch, professioneel en duidelijk in hetgeen wat ze voor mij kon betekenen.

Ik had het voorrecht om met Letselschade Advocaat Amsterdam te mogen samenwerken en ik kon niet meer onder de indruk zijn van hun service. Als expat die in Amsterdam woonde, was het lastig om door de complexiteit van een letselschadezaak te navigeren. Het team van Letselschade Advocaat Amsterdam zorgde er echter voor dat het hele proces naadloos verliep.

Vanaf het eerste consult waren ze professioneel, meelevend en zeer deskundig. Ze namen de tijd om elke stap van het proces in duidelijke bewoordingen uit te leggen, zodat ik mijn rechten en opties volledig begreep. Wat het meest opviel was hun toewijding aan mijn zaak; ze gaven echt om mijn welzijn en werkten onvermoeibaar om een ​​eerlijke regeling te bewerkstelligen.

Hun expertise in de omgang met verzekeringsmaatschappijen was van onschatbare waarde. Ik had er vertrouwen in dat mijn zaak in goede handen was, en ze hielden me de hele tijd op de hoogte.

Ik kan Letselschade Advocaat Amsterdam van harte aanbevelen aan iedereen die juridische hulp nodig heeft bij een letselschadezaak. Hun professionaliteit, empathie en expertise zijn ongeëvenaard.
Samantha van der Lee
Wat ik echt fijn vind aan deze advocaat. Is dat ze zo veel mogelijk persoonlijke zorg aanbiedt en dat ze zo goed mogelijk naar een herstel probeert mee te kijken en echt opkomt voor een zo goed mogelijke schadevergoeding. Echt top!
Asif Mirza
Goed geholpen door mevrouw Foe. U krijgt van mij 5 sterren.
Marcel Boonstra
Sinds mei 2012 behartigde mw de Foe mijn letselschade na mijn ongeluk waarbij de tegenpartij is doorgereden. Nu juli 2020 wordt mijn zaak afgerond met het waarborgfonds. Al die jaren ben ik zeer content geweest met de aanpak van mw de Foe. Ik zou hierbij mw de Foe aan willen bevelen voor al uw letselschade. Ik heb een uiterst prettige ervaring de afgelopen jaren met mw de Foe gehad.

Met vriendelijke groet
