Injured in Amsterdam during your holiday?
An English-speaking personal injury lawyer can help you understand your rights and, where appropriate, claim compensation under Dutch law.
An accident and its consequences in Amsterdam
Amsterdam is a busy city, and accidents can happen in many different ways. This can be in traffic, at work, on public transport, or in public spaces. Whatever the situation, the effects of personal injury are often felt immediately in your daily life. Being unable to work, medical treatments, becoming dependent on help, and uncertainty about income or the future often hit you all at once.
During this period, it can be difficult to keep an overview. You want to recover, but at the same time, questions arise about liability, compensation, and what your rights actually are.
As a personal injury lawyer in Amsterdam, we help you gain that clarity. We make sure you know where you stand, what is legally possible, and how to get the best possible compensation for your damages. So you can focus on recovery, while we handle the legal side for you: carefully, clearly, and close by.
Personal injury assistance
In personal injury cases, the central question is what effects an accident has had on the victim and what damages have resulted from it. In practice, this is often not immediately clear, because facts can be interpreted differently and insurers scrutinise the evidence critically. Especially when medical information, witness statements, and circumstances all come together, it is important that everything is properly documented from a legal perspective.
As a personal injury specialist in Amsterdam, we make sure your situation and damages are carefully mapped out.
Help after a traffic accident
Traffic accidents regularly occur in Amsterdam due to the combination of busy traffic and different types of road users. Cyclists, cars, scooters, fatbikes, and public transport all share the same space, which can quickly make situations complex. Afterwards, there is often discussion about how the accident happened, and liability is not always immediately acknowledged.

Help after a workplace accident
In cases of workplace accidents, the employer’s duty of care is central. Employers must ensure a safe working environment, but in practice it is not always clear whether this obligation has been met. Especially in sectors where work is done quickly and under pressure, accidents regularly occur, often accompanied by discussion about liability.
We investigate the situation and make sure your damages are properly recovered under the law. As a personal injury specialist in Amsterdam, we make sure your position is strongly substantiated towards the insurer.
Personal injury lawyer Amsterdam: when should you contact us?
You can contact AVB Law as soon as you have suffered an injury for which another party may be responsible. You do not necessarily have to contact a lawyer immediately after the accident; legal assistance may also become necessary at a later stage.
In practice, people often contact us when:
- their recovery is taking longer than expected and their work or income is affected;
- an insurer disputes liability or offers only limited compensation;
- it is unclear which losses can be claimed;
- the impact of their injuries turns out to be greater than initially expected.
These are precisely the situations in which it is important to have a personal injury lawyer with the right expertise assess your case and strengthen your legal position.
What you can expect from AVB Law
We always start with calm and clarity. Together, we map out your situation clearly, without complicated legal jargon or unnecessary pressure. We listen to what happened and what the effects are on your daily life.
From there, we move into the legal process. We take over the entire process for you and make sure everything is arranged carefully:
- Establishing liability: we formally hold the responsible party liable and take over all contact with the other party on your behalf.
- Damage assessment: we map out your full damages, from medical costs and loss of income to help with daily life.
- Arranging an advance payment: where necessary, we make sure you receive an advance payment to ease financial pressure.
- Negotiation and finalisation: we negotiate with the other party on your behalf for fair compensation and stay involved until everything is properly settled.
Throughout the entire process, we keep you informed of the steps we take and why. This way, you always know exactly where you stand, without having to follow the legal process yourself.

FAQ
How quickly should I hire a personal injury lawyer in Amsterdam after an accident?
You don’t need to take legal action right away, but it is wise to have this assessed by a personal injury lawyer as early as possible. In the initial period, evidence can still be recorded, and it becomes easier to determine what your legal position is.
However, if a motorised vehicle leaves the scene of the accident, you need to act quickly. A report must be filed with the police within two weeks.
What if I am partly at fault for the accident?
Even if you were partly responsible for causing the accident, you can often still be entitled to (partial) compensation. How exactly this is divided depends on the circumstances and is assessed legally.
What damages can I claim compensation for?
Personal injury compensation goes beyond just medical costs. Loss of income, additional costs caused by the injury, and help around the house can also be compensated. In addition, there is often an entitlement to compensation for pain and suffering and loss of quality of life. Exactly what damages are compensated depends on your situation.
What does it cost to hire AVB Law?
In most personal injury cases, you don’t have to pay our costs yourself. If another party is liable, the costs are usually recovered from that party. We always explain clearly in advance what applies to your specific situation, so you’re never faced with surprises.
