Submit a claim for damages
If you have suffered damage as a result of work carried out by the water board, you can hold us liable for this. This may occur, for example, during road works or (large-scale) projects in our area. We can be held responsible for damage if there has been negligence. This means that we could have prevented the accident or damage.
Terms and Conditions
We may be liable for damage you have suffered if:
- there is a dangerous situation at the location. This is determined on the basis of legislation and case law;
- you provide legal and convincing evidence of the event that caused you to suffer damage.
How do I file a claim for damages?
The more complete your declaration is, the better we can assess your liability claim.
