E-bikes are becoming increasingly popular in the Netherlands. Nevertheless, accidents are increasingly occurring due to these e-bikes. What does this mean for personal injury compensation in the event of an accident or collision?
Cyclists are extra protected in the event of accidents by the Dutch legislator, but this does not apply to all electric cyclists. Only e-bikes with pedal assistance up to 25 kilometers per hour receive extra protection. Like the drivers of regular bicycles, they do not have an electric drive. E-bikes that do have an electric drive fall under the moustache or moped category. They are therefore strong road users. This may sound complicated. That is why we are happy to work with you to see what this means for your compensation.
As a victim of an e-bike traffic accident, you often have the right to:
• Payment of your compensation
• Possible pain
• Parking fees
• Unreimbursed hospital costs
• Travel expenses
• More expensive vacation (due to wheelchair)
Have you been involved in an accident and have you suffered damage or injury as a result? Did you incur unforeseen costs or lost income? Then you are entitled to compensation. Maya Personal Injury employs the best lawyers for you free of charge so that you are fully reimbursed for the damage.
