When you sustain personal injury as a result of an accident, you often face complex calculations, negotiations, and legal proceedings. Victims regularly wonder who they need: a NIVRE registered expert or a personal injury lawyer?
At Arslan Advocaten, you do not have to choose. We are one of the few firms in the Netherlands where NIVRE registered experts and lawyers work together to provide you with the best possible assistance.
What Is a NIVRE Registered Expert?
A NIVRE registered expert is a certified damage expert registered with the Netherlands Institute of Registered Experts (NIVRE).
Only professionals who meet high standards in education, experience, and continuing education may hold this title.
A NIVRE expert specialises in assessing and calculating damages.
In personal injury cases, this means making damage items transparent, such as loss of income, domestic help, study delay, or medical costs.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer:
Conducts negotiations with the insurer on your behalf.
Assesses liability issues and legal disputes.
Can initiate court proceedings when necessary.
Ensures your rights are safeguarded and that you receive the maximum compensation.
The Unique Combination at Arslan Advocaten
Many firms work with either NIVRE experts or lawyers. With us, you get the best of both worlds:
Expertise in damage calculation: our NIVRE registered experts provide a professional and objective substantiation of your damages.
Strong legal defence: our lawyers translate this calculation into negotiations or proceedings against the insurer.
Efficient and complete: because expert and lawyer work together within the same firm, we can respond more quickly and work more comprehensively.
Independent and in your interest: with us, everyone works for you, the victim — not for the insurer.
Practical Examples
Example 1: A victim with serious brain injury was offered a far too low compensation by the insurer. Our NIVRE expert meticulously calculated the damage items, after which the lawyer convinced the insurer to make a much higher payment.
Example 2: An entrepreneur who had to partially close his business due to an accident received full compensation for both loss of income and costs for replacement labour, thanks to the collaboration between expert and lawyer.
Example 3: A student with study delay received compensation not only for study costs but also for missed career opportunities, because the expert provided the financial substantiation and the lawyer enforced this legally.
Checklist: Why Choose a Firm with Both Disciplines?
NIVRE registered experts who calculate damages professionally and comprehensively.
Lawyers who determine the legal strategy and can conduct proceedings.
Faster and better collaboration without dependence on external parties.
Maximum chance of a fair and complete compensation.
All expertise under one roof.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the advantage of a NIVRE registered expert in my case?
An expert identifies all damage items objectively and professionally, so you do not miss out on anything.
2. Do I also need a lawyer in addition?
Yes, because a lawyer can negotiate and litigate on your behalf. That is why the combination of both is the strongest.
3. Who pays the costs of an expert or lawyer?
In personal injury cases, reasonable costs are recovered from the liable insurer. Legal assistance is therefore free of charge for victims.
