European Car Accident Solicitor Response
As the Netherlands is an European Union country there are reciprocal agreements of insurance companies which allow a UK citizen who has a road accident in the Netherlands or Holland to commence a claim in England or another country of the UK.
It is therefore possible for you to make a claim for all the injuries you have described from the UK – including whiplash, back injuries, hand injuries, a broken foot and hip injuries.
