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.

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.

Liane heeft mij goed bijgestaan na een vervelende zaak met een conexxion bus, zij heeft mij duidelijk bij het eerste contact gezegd dat het erg moeilijk zou worden vanwege ontbreken getuiges, die waren er wel maar door de schrik niet genoteerd, ze is zeer empathisch en erg vriendelijk, je voelt je in ieder geval gehoord.

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!
