What is mediation in personal injury cases in Tilburg?
In Tilburg, mediation offers a voluntary alternative to traditional judicial hearing and cross-examination, as provided for in Article 7:909 of the Dutch Civil Code. Parties discuss under the neutral guidance of a local MfN mediator, with confidentiality as a core principle (Article 7:916 of the Dutch Civil Code). Particularly relevant after accidents in busy areas such as Heuvelstraat or around Spoorpark, where injury claims are often emotionally charged.
