When you suffer personal injury due to an accident, you often have to deal with complex calculations, negotiations, and legal procedures. Victims regularly wonder who they need: a NIVRE-registered expert or a personal injury lawyer?

At Arslan Advocaten you do not need to choose. We are one of the few firms in the Netherlands where NIVRE-registered experts and lawyers cooperate to provide you with the best possible assistance.

What is a NIVRE-registered expert?

A NIVRE-registered expert is a recognized damage expert registered with the Dutch Institute of Registered Experts (NIVRE).

• Only professionals who meet high standards in the field of education, experience, and continuous education may bear this title.

• A NIVRE expert specializes in determining and calculating damage.

• In personal injury cases, this means: clarifying damage items, such as loss of income, domestic help, study delay, or medical costs.

What does a personal injury lawyer do?

A personal injury lawyer:

• Negotiates with the insurer on your behalf.

• Assesses liability issues and legal disputes.

• Can litigate when necessary.

• Ensures that your rights are safeguarded and that you receive the maximum compensation.

The unique combination at Arslan Advocaten

Many firms work either with NIVRE experts or with lawyers. With us, you get the best of both worlds:

• Expertise in damage calculation: our NIVRE-registered experts ensure a professional and objective justification of your damage.

• Strong legal defense: our lawyers implement this calculation in negotiations or proceedings against the insurer.

• Efficient and complete: because the expert and lawyer cooperate within the same office, we can switch faster and work more completely.

• Independent and in your interest: at our firm, everyone works for you, the victim – not for the insurer.

Examples from practice

• Example 1: A victim with serious brain injury was offered too low compensation by the insurer. Our NIVRE expert calculated the damage items accurately, after which the lawyer convinced the insurer of a much higher payment.

• Example 2: An entrepreneur who had to partly shut down his business due to an accident, thanks to the cooperation between expert and lawyer, was fully reimbursed for both income loss and costs for replacement labour.

• Example 3: A student with study delay not only got the study costs reimbursed but also compensation for missed career opportunities, because the expert financially justified this and the lawyer legally enforced it.

Checklist: why choose a firm with both disciplines?

• ✅ NIVRE-registered experts who professionally and fully calculate damage.

• ✅ Lawyers who determine the legal strategy and can litigate.

• ✅ Faster and better cooperation without being dependent on external parties.

• ✅ Maximum chance of a fair and complete compensation.

• ✅ All expertise under one roof.
