An accident can happen anywhere, so everyone runs the risk of becoming a victim of an accident, for example a traffic accident. Such an event often has major consequences for your work, your functioning at home and possibly your studies. Recovery takes time and in the meantime your options are limited. Did you know that you can recover the costs of study delay due to an accident from the liable party? MCJ Advocatuur can help you with this.
Many students who are involved in an accident experience delays in their studies. The damage that occurs can consist of the following components:
- Additional study costs (book/exam costs)
- Damage that occurs because you only become active on the labor market later
- Damage as a result of an adapted training program
- Damage resulting from the necessary choice for a lower level education
To carefully map out the damage mentioned, engage a specialized lawyer. There are specialized service providers who can give you study advice and guide you through your study process. We recover the costs from the liable party. MCJ Advocatuur will help you with this.
Guideline of the Personal Injury Council
The Study Delay Guideline of the Personal Injury Council contains standard amounts for compensation if an accident leads to study delay. This concerns a study delay of up to one year. The compensation is determined on the basis of the standard amount that applies in the year in which the study delay claim is settled.
Not all costs resulting from study delays are covered by the guideline. Some expenses are individual in nature and will have to be demonstrated on the basis of receipts and invoices.
