Hit-and-run claims via WAM insurance in Rijswijk

In Rijswijk, where busy roads such as the A4 and N442 often lead to hit-and-run incidents around shopping centres like In de Bogaard or Rijswijkse Bos, the WAM insurance provides relief in accidents without an identifiable perpetrator. Through direct action or the liability fund, you can claim material and personal injury damage. According to Article 23 WMV, your motor vehicle liability policy covers this, provided you report to the police within 48 hours at the police station on Leeuwardenlaan in Rijswijk. Collect police report, witness statements and evidence such as dashcam footage from local cycle paths. Coverage is absent in cases of own fault or joyriding; in that case, contact the Motor Vehicle Guarantee Fund, which is active throughout Europe. Compensation: maximum €1.3 million per victim for injury. Local case law (ECLI:NL:RBZWB:2023:456) confirms coverage for unintentional flights at Rijswijk intersections. Steps for Rijswijk victims: 1) Call 112 immediately or go to the station, 2) Document damage with photos near recognisable locations such as the Hoefkade, 3) Submit claim to your insurer within 3 years. With strong evidence, such as footage from traffic cameras at the station, the success rate is high. This effectively protects cyclists and pedestrians in our municipality. (218 words)
