What is mediation in personal injury cases in Rijswijk?
In Rijswijk, mediation offers a voluntary alternative to judicial hearing and cross-examination, as provided for in Article 7:909 of the Dutch Civil Code. Parties discuss under neutral guidance, with confidentiality as a core principle (Article 7:916 of the Dutch Civil Code). Particularly relevant for common injury cases in Rijswijk, such as bicycle accidents on Juliana van Stolberglaan or incidents near Rijswijk's Bronovo hospital.
