Settlement or litigation

Letselschade Advocaat Amsterdam Settlement or litigation

What does settlement or litigation involve?

Most personal injury cases are resolved out of court by negotiating the amount of final compensation. Final compensation - also known as pragmatic settlement - means that both parties reach an agreement without the need to take the case to court. If it is not possible to reach a final settlement, it may be necessary to take legal action. We will never take legal action without your consent. We carefully discuss each step in the case with you so that you are always aware of what we are doing.

Why is a settlement beneficial?

Settling your case and determining the final amount of compensation offers several advantages. The process is generally faster and less stressful than litigation. In addition, you have more control over the outcome because you are an active participant in the negotiations. Making a final settlement also provides more certainty and is cost-saving, as court proceedings are often expensive and always involve risk

How do we prepare a settlement?

We always work efficiently to achieve a good end result and the highest possible compensation. We do this by, among other things, gathering relevant evidence of expenses incurred, relevant evidence, drafting a detailed claim for damages, and negotiating with the liable party's insurer. We constantly keep you informed and involve you in important decisions.

What happens if a settlement is not possible?

In most cases it is possible to obtain compensation. If this fails or if the amount of compensation is too low, we will discuss with you the possibility of starting legal proceedings. This means that we take your case to court and ask the judge to rule on your compensation.

The process of court procedure

Legal proceedings can be complex and time-consuming, but we will guide you through every step. This includes:

  • Case preparation: Collecting evidence and preparing legal documents
  • Submitting your case: Officially filing your case with the court
  • Court hearing: Representing you at the court hearing
  • Ruling: Awaiting the judge's ruling and implementing the ruling

How will I pay for this?

At Letselschade Advocaat Amsterdam you don't have to worry about unexpected costs. We make every effort to ensure that the cost of our services is reimbursed by the other party. Once liability is admitted, your damages, including attorney's fees, will be compensated.

We give you a clear picture in advance of the feasibility and are completely transparent about any costs.

How long will it take?

The duration of your case depends on several factors, such as complexity and the cooperation of the opposing party. We strive to complete your case as quickly as possible, without compromising on quality.

We continuously keep you informed of progress and discuss an estimated time frame in advance. Efficiency is our priority and we make sure you always know where you stand.

How much is my case worth?

The value depends on many factors, including the severity of your injuries and the impact on your daily life. We will thoroughly analyse your damages and give you a realistic estimate of the compensation you can expect. In most cases, the other party is obligated to compensate you for the damages caused by the accident.

We make every effort to obtain the highest possible compensation for you and keep you informed throughout the process.

We understand that it can be difficult to get back to your life after a traumatic event or accident. We will take the legal issues off your hands, such as liability and filing your claim, so you can focus on your recovery.

We will keep you informed every step of the process and do everything we can to get you high compensation so you can get your life back as soon as possible.

When can I expect to receive funds?

Once the opposing party admits liability, you can expect to receive money. This means that all damages you suffered as a result of the accident will be compensated. Once liability is acknowledged, we immediately begin the process of compensating you for your damages, such as medical expenses, lost income and pain and suffering.

You’d rather not be Injured. If It happens, we’re here to help.

"Liane Foe: uitstekende juridische begeleiding, goede adviezen en persoonlijke benadering"

Na mijn ernstig ongeval waarbij ik als voetganger door een motorrijder ben aangereden op een zebrapad, raadde mijn jongste zus mij dringend aan een letselschade advocaat in de arm te nemen. Omdat ik in een revalidatiecentrum verbleef en door immobiliteit tot weinig in staat was, had zij die op grond van reviews al snel voor mij gevonden: Liane Foe. Ik ben in de keuze van mijn zus zeker niet teleurgesteld. Vanaf de eerste gesprekken met haar gaf Liane mij het gevoel dat ik bij haar in goed handen was vanwege haar uitstekende juridische begeleiding waarbij ze haar kennis ter zake voor mij als leek op begrijpelijke en heldere wijze kon verwoorden, en haar ervaring met gevallen waarin voetgangers door een verkeersongeval worden getroffen. Zij heeft mij daarnaast in haar contact met de verzekeringsmaatschappij van de wederpartij met goede adviezen bijgestaan. En wat ik belangrijk vind in het contact met haar, is niet alleen de zakelijke kant hiervan, maar ook haar persoonlijke en inlevende benadering. Elk telefoongesprek met haar opende zij met de vraag naar mijn gezondheid en naar de vordering van mijn herstel. In de bijna afgelopen anderhalf jaar heeft zij mij de zekerheid gegeven dat mijn zaak tot mijn tevredenheid afgerond zou worden. Ieder die door een verkeersongeval wordt getroffen, heeft de vrijheid op grond van eigen voorkeur een letselschade advocaat te kiezen. Maar het valt zeker aan te raden in de zoektocht naar zo'n advocaat contact op te nemen met Liane Foe.

Deskundig, betrokken en zeer goed bereikbaar. Ik raad ze absoluut aan!
Hector Serberie
Ik ben door een auto aangereden en toen ik thuis kwam dag daarna uit het ziekenhuis werd ik gebeld door verzekeraar en kreeg zop slecht gevoel hoe ik behandeld werd.
Toen nam ik contact me de advocaat hier en ineens werd alles voor mij geregeld.
Mijn gezondheid en mijn belangen werden meteen prioriteiten,ik ben super blij met hun hulp en zorg.

ik raad ze aan en ben ze super dankbaar voor hun steun.

nogmaals bedankt

Liane heeft mij ruim 10 jaar bijgestaan nadat ik een scooterongeluk heb gehad. Haar advies is altijd eerlijk en duidelijk geweest. Ik kon altijd bij haar terecht met vragen en zij liet altijd weten hoe de communicatie liep met de tegenpartij. Ik zou Liane aan iedereen aanraden! Door haar heb ik het beste resultaat kunnen behalen.
