Personal Injury
Claims for accidents, work injuries and medical malpractice.
Who we represent
We represent people seeking advice about injury claims, including incidents involving:
- Car accidents
- Boating accidents
- Slips and falls
- Faulty construction
- Faulty equipment
- Accidents at work, through mechanical failure or employer neglect
Medical malpractice
- Surgical errors
- Failure to diagnose
- Failure to perform or order proper diagnostic procedures
- Pharmacy errors
- Neglect or abuse in hospitals and nursing homes
Wider liability work
We act in cases involving all areas of liability law: liability of government bodies and regulatory authorities, contractual and statutory liability, road maintenance authority liability, personal injury at home, at work or on the road, and maritime liability.
We also work with attorneys from other countries who represent people injured in Curaçao.
Assessing a claim
We review the circumstances of the injury, the applicable basis of liability, evidence of the consequences and any insurance position. The legal requirements depend on the type of incident and jurisdiction. A disappointing medical outcome, for example, does not by itself establish malpractice; records and appropriate expert input may be needed.
What to prepare
Keep incident reports, photographs, witness details, medical records and evidence of expenses or lost income. Retain correspondence with the other party and insurers. Explain any previous injury or relevant treatment so that the claimed consequences can be assessed accurately.
For a visitor injured in Curaçao, identify where treatment took place and whether a lawyer or insurer is already involved abroad. We can assess the Curaçao work and coordination required.
Contact us with a short description of the incident and any deadline. Arrange a suitable way to share medical records after initial contact.
