Recovering the loss caused by an accident

Losses can be recovered

Were you involved in a traffic accident or an accident at home or at work? Did you need medical treatment?

If someone else is liable for the accident, then HollandZorg will try to recover the medical expenses from the other party. You cannot recover medical expenses from the other party yourself, but you can recover the costs you have to incur. They include medical expenses not covered by your Dutch health insurance.

Did you suffer a loss after you had an accident? Notify us accordingly by means of our accident claim form. We will give you a rough indication, as soon as possible, of whether we or you may be able to recover the loss from another party.

Options to recover various types of loss

Loss following an industrial accident

In the case of industrial accidents, a healthcare insurer will be able to recover the loss in a small number of cases only. Complete the accident claim form. You will then receive a special questionnaire about the accident you suffered. Based on your answers, we can assess if HollandZorg will be able to recover the medical expenses from the other party.

Employees who suffered an industrial accident often have several options to recover the loss.

Loss following a traffic accident
In the case of traffic accidents, the loss can often be recovered. Complete the accident claim form. You will then receive a special questionnaire about the accident you suffered. Based on your answers, we can assess if HollandZorg will be able to recover the medical expenses from the other party. In addition, you often also have options to recover the loss, especially when you suffered a traffic accident as a pedestrian or cyclist.
Loss following an accident in or around the home
If you suffer an accident at home due to your own fault, no recovery will be possible
Loss following an accident involving sports or games
In the case of accidents involving sports and games, the loss can be recovered in a small number of cases only. This applies to both the casualty and the healthcare insurer. Complete the accident claim form, after which you will receive a questionnaire. Based on your answers, we can assess if HollandZorg will be able to recover the medical expenses from the other party.
Loss caused by abuse or violence

In the case of abuse or violence, HollandZorg will in practice not be able to recover the loss. Victim Support Netherlands (Bureau Slachtofferhulp) will be able to support you in recovering your loss.
