Legal status of pedestrians and bikers
Bikers en pedestrians are seen as vulnerable participators in traffic and are legally better protected because of that.
We are Carlos Mauricio de Oliveira, LLM and Roberto Haak, LLM. We obtained our Master degree Law & Technology and Dutch Law at the Tilburg University. We offer professional legal aid to everyone who feels that he or she has been treated unjust.
It is not a coincidence that the very first Article of the Dutch constitution regulates the prohibition of discrimination. After the second world war, most countries in Europe agreed that the suppressing of a minority should never happen again. This article gave rise to many legislations that came after.
The prohibition of discrimination is much broader than merely preventing people from being discriminated due to their ethnicity or origin. This Article protects every person that works on Dutch soil against their employer. It protects every citizen that lives in the Netherlands against the government. It prevents parties with more power, money or influence from misusing their dominant position.
Multiple people have been affected more than once by decisions of bigger organizations such as companies, government organizations, and tax authorities. We intend to create a more righteous world by offering professional legal aid.
Did you apply for social welfare or a governmental compensation and has this application been rejected? Or do you have to pay back social allowance or a governmental compensation? Did you receive a fine for something that you didn’t do or is the amount of the fine simply too high? In this case we recommend you to seek legal aid as soon as possible. In most case you need to send a letter of objection within six months. I you fail to object within six months, then it becomes almost impossible for a lawyer to help you. Even if it’s clear that the decision is not right.
Were you involved in an accident in traffic or at work? If so, it is wisely to seek legal aid as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more difficult it becomes to seek justice due to the fact that evidence easily gets lost or ruined. We can advise and guide you in the matter.
Have you applied for a licence within a governmental organisation and has this application been rejected or revoked? In this case we recommend you seek legal aid as soon as possible. Often you need to send a letter of objection within a period of six week. If this period passes, it becomes almost imposable for a lawyer to provide legal aid. Even if the rejection or revocation is totally unfair.
Did you lose your job or is there a chance that you might lose your job? Contact us without any obligation. It often happens that an employer is being pressured to accept an unfair settlement agreement. It then is very important to seek legal help as soon as possible. We check whether the termination of contract is legal, whether the offered settlement agreement is reasonable and whether there are other possibilities.
You call us or sent us an email.
After that, the first intake takes place. This is entirely free of charge. During this conversation we will listen to your issue and we will provide you with a short advice.
We work on a transparent meaner. We will give you a clear answer so you know what to expect.
Depending on the type of issue, we can provide you with a more extensive advice, write a notice of objection, go to court, or negotiate with your employer.
If we decide to help you, we will ask you to provide evidence that proves your case.

Employees who work though an agency are less protected than employees who work direct for a company.
A victim of – for example – a car accident has the right to be fully compensated for the damage that he or she suffered.
Did you know that employers cannot just arbitrarily fire employees of their choice? This is called the reflection principle.
Does your organization stand for equal treatment? Do you want to create more awareness for this among your employees? We provide tailor-made courses.
