Moped Accident
Were you involved in a moped accident in the Netherlands, or were you hit by a moped rider? You can almost certainly get your personal injury compensated under Dutch law. If you were hit by another cyclist or moped rider, there is a good chance that the at-fault party has liability insurance that can be claimed by your personal injury lawyer. The costs of your lawyer will also be reimbursed if liability is acknowledged.
Were you involved in an accident as a passenger on a moped? In that case, too, you can claim compensation for your damages. You are considered an innocent third party in such a situation. The damages will also be compensated if the driver of the moped you were on is themselves liable.
