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.

When will I be able to resume my normal life?

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.
We’re here for you. As an independent law firm, we work exclusively for victims and never with insurers. This ensures there are no conflicts of interest. You can trust us completely. Your case is in good hands with us.

Nadat ik door een taxi werd geschept (fiets total loss, kleding beschadigd en schouder ontzet), begon een akelige strijd om het verhalen van de schade: de taxicentrale wilde het afkopen met een paar tientjes terwijl de verzekeringsmaatschappij van álles bonnetjes wilde zien (en bovendien niets kon doen zonder schuldbekentenis van de taxicentrale).Een advocaat leek me een grote stap, maar een oriënterend gesprek met mevrouw Liane Foe maakte aan die twijfel een eind.Meteen nadat ik haar mijn gegevens had gestuurd, werd er orde op zaken gesteld. Zij heeft toegang tot de gegevens van de RDW, en had daarmee direct contact met de verzekeraar zelf (en niet met de tussenpersoon die ik sprak). Vervolgens bekende de taxicentrale schuld en leverde hun deel van het schadeformulier in.Omdat zij de weg kent en de nodige ervaring heeft, was niet meer het starre schadeformulier leidend, maar kon er in één keer doorgepakt worden.En tot mijn verbazing ging het meteen over smartengeld; iets wat je zelf niet op een schadeformulier kunt invullen.Bovendien werden de advocaatkosten geheel door de verzekeringsmaatschappij vergoed, dus ik ben érg blij dat ik via de LSA (Vereniging van Letselschade Advocaten) bij mevrouw Liane Foe terechtkwam.

Ik wil Letselschade Advocaat Amsterdam bedanken voor hun geweldige hulp en ondersteuning. Vanaf het eerste gesprek voelde ik me serieus genomen en begrepen. Het team was deskundig, professioneel en altijd bereid om mijn vragen te beantwoorden. Ze hebben alles uit handen genomen, zodat ik me volledig kon richten op mijn herstel. De schadevergoeding die ze voor mij hebben geregeld, was boven verwachting. Ik kan dit kantoor aan iedereen aanraden die letselschade heeft opgelopen!

Liane is geweldig! Ze is ontzettend vriendelijk en begripvol, en het is haast een kunst hoe goed zij is in het duidelijk uitleggen van complexe zaken en duidelijk verwachtingspatronen communiceren. Zij heeft mij drie jaar lang bij gestaan in een letselschadezaak en ik kan niet blijer zijn met de uitkomst! Ik raad Liane van harte aan!

Wat een fijne en zorgvuldige advocaat is Liane Foe.Ik ben geweldig goed geholpen en een bijkomend pluspunt is haar vriendelijk- en menselijkheid. De omstandigheden om een letselschade advocaat in de arm te nemen, zijn over het algemeen niet prettig, maar door haar handelen is 'je zaak' in goede handen en kan je je focussen op herstel.Ik raad iedereen aan om haar in de arm te nemen!Nogmaals dank Liane!

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.
