Mens Advocaten is a law firm in Rotterdam that works exclusively for victims. It specialises in liability law, especially personal injury and fatal injury claims.

Fatal injury claims

When someone dies, the firm seeks compensation for the surviving relatives from the liable party. This may include domestic help, lost income and funeral costs.

Other support

Mens Advocaten also handles liability disputes that do not involve personal injury. It assists victims with benefit applications and, if needed, with objections or appeals.

Costs

The costs of legal assistance are generally paid by the liable party or their insurer when liability is accepted and the matter is settled amicably. Separate arrangements are made for any proceedings.
