Calculate non-pecuniary damages based on life expectancy | Legal aid centre


Questioner

How is compensation calculated for a victim who has to deal with a shortened life expectancy? Are there tables or formulas for this?

Lawyer

No, there are no tables for that. An injury specialist can help you determine this. I have experience with this. You can contact me without obligation.

Lawyer

Good morning, as the colleague indicates, there are no fixed tables in the Netherlands for determining the compensation for pain and suffering. This means that personal circumstances are an important factor in determining the amount. With rulings by judges, a starting point is sought and from this basis, the personal circumstances are taken into account. If you would like to know more, I would like to hear from you.

Lawyer

In general, the costs of legal assistance to calculate and recover damages can also be recovered from the insurance of the other party. Therefore, hiring a personal injury specialist will generally not cost you anything.
