How I work
After an accident on holiday or on a business trip, going home does not close the matter: the damage must be documented and the claim made in time.
I pursue the claim against the Italian insurer and, if necessary, before the Italian courts, keeping you updated remotely in English.
The Netherlands is a European logistics hub: many companies that sell or manufacture in Italy are based or operate there.
Common situations
- A road accident on holiday in Italy
- A rental car involved in a collision
- Injuries that need further treatment back in Amsterdam
- An Italian insurer that does not respond
- Damage suffered at an Italian facility
Useful EU and international rules
-
Directive 2009/103/EC
Every motor insurer appoints a claims representative in each other Member State, so the claim can be started from your own country.
-
Compensation bodies
If the insurer does not reply in time, or the vehicle cannot be identified, the same directive provides national bodies you can turn to.
-
European accident statement
The standard European accident report form, if completed at the scene, makes reconstructing events much easier.
