Holding the municipality liable
If you have suffered damage or been injured and it is the fault of the municipality, you can hold the municipality liable. You do this by submitting a claim for damages to the municipality.
Have you suffered damage caused by the municipality? Then you can hold the municipality liable for this. You must prove, for example with photos, that the municipality has done something wrong. If that is the case, you will be compensated for the damage.
How does it work?
Send the notice of liability digitally via the online form.
You, or your lawyer, can also choose to send a letter. This letter must include the following:
- What happened that caused the damage?
- When did it happen? (date and time)
- Where did it happen?
- What caused the damage? / What does the damage consist of?
- What are the costs to repair the damage?
If possible, please include:
- Photos of the damage;
- Photos of the location where the damage occurred;
- Map of the location where the damage occurred
- Invoice(s) showing the amount of damage and/or damage report(s);
- Witness statements (if available), or names of witnesses.
Send the letter to:
Municipality of Tytsjerksteradiel
P.O. Box 3 9250 AA Burgum
After we have received the online form or your letter, we will process it as soon as possible. The costs will be reimbursed if the municipality agrees with you that the damage was caused by municipal action or negligence.
