Personal injury
Please refer to our complaints procedures for lawyers, tax advisors and notaries for more information. It can happen to anyone — whether you are an entrepreneur or a private individual. A bailiff rings your doorbell to deliver a writ of summons, or if you’re not home or at your business, you may find one in your mailbox. The civil summons procedure officially begins with the delivery or deposit of this writ. Personal injury is the general category under which all personal injury cases fall. Personal injury laws cover not only car accidents, accidents on the workfloor, product liability and medical malpractice, but also for example dog bites, animal attacks, construction accidents, and premises liability. With 180 lawyers, tax advisors, notaries and economists, we offer Dutch and foreign multinationals local and cross-border legal and tax advice. Known in the market for our innovative, pragmatic approach, we help clients seize opportunities, mitigate risks and resolve complex business, legal and tax issues. Our office was the first Dutch law practice to join a multinational network and create an integrated civil, fiscal and notarial practice. A litigation lawyer can explain in plain language what the writ of summons contains, discuss your chances in court, explain how the procedure works, what costs to expect, and represent you throughout the proceedings. If you have received a summons or are considering starting civil proceedings yourself, feel free to contact me for a free introductory meeting. The team includes experienced lawyers such as Olaf Diels, Fulco van der Schrier, and Eline van der Niet, with additional staff to support day to day operations at the Den Haag and Rotterdam offices. In such cases, preliminary relief proceedings may offer a solution — for example, in eviction matters involving residential or commercial property, or in situations where an employer has withheld an employee’s wages on which they depend for their livelihood. Vaststellingsovereenkomst apply to preliminary relief proceedings than to full proceedings. For example, the party initiating a preliminary relief procedure — the claimant — must demonstrate that the matter is urgent. If you have received a preliminary relief summons or are considering starting such proceedings, contact me as soon as possible so we can assess whether I can be of assistance. Relying on a close-knit team of over 6,000 locally qualified lawyers around the world, we are uniquely positioned to guide clients in their cross-border endeavors and help them achieve their business objectives. In Dutch civil law, we distinguish between regular proceedings (also called full proceedings) and preliminary relief proceedings. Sometimes full proceedings take too long and urgency is required. Whatever their market, strategy or ambition, our clients trust our people to be behind them every step of the way, just as much as they trust our advice to take them where they desire to go. We'll always connect you with the best businesses & services that meet your specific needs. Any assignment is also governed by our customary Standard Terms of Engagement for Legal Services. These Terms include among others provisions on the use of cloud services for the storage and processing of data and on data protection and international data transfer. Together, we form a strong collective, representing our clients, relentlessly pursuing excellence. Access legal and regulatory updates impacting your business in the Netherlands. We have leading practices in, among other areas, Corporate/M&A, Litigation & Arbitration, Real Estate and Restructuring & Insolvency. We continuously strive for diverse teams – it simply makes us better. Our unique personalities, experiences, and individual perspectives make us sharper and keep us humble.

Many of our top business leaders and members of the judiciary come up through our own ranks, and pass our firm from one generation to the next. Rooted deeply in the Dutch tradition of problem-solving and innovation, we offer high-end legal advice in corporate transactions, disputes and regulatory enforcement. This gives you the clarity needed to make an informed decision — whether to initiate proceedings, defend yourself in court, or attempt to resolve the issue through negotiation. In general you can also get compensation for non-material damages (emotional damages). The writ of summons calls you to appear on a specific date before a court or a court of appeal. The date on which you are summoned to appear is stated in the document. If you receive a summons, whether as a private individual or as a business owner, it is important to contact a litigation lawyer as soon as possible — and always before the court date mentioned. Our personal injury lawyers have long experience working with clients that have suffered a loss resulting from damage or injury and can help you with your claim. If a client is at any time dissatisfied with the service they are receiving or would like to discuss how our service could be improved, they should contact the Partner responsible for their matter or, if preferred, the Managing Partner.
