Consequences of Registration in the Personal Injury Fraud Register in Zoetermeer

Registration in the personal injury fraud register has far-reaching consequences for residents of Zoetermeer. Local insurers, such as those active in the area around Stadionplein and Binckhorstlaan, immediately reject claims, stop ongoing payments, and refuse future policies. In Zoetermeer, with its growing population and proximity to The Hague, victims of traffic accidents on the A12 or N44 quickly lose their financial compensation, including access to regional care via the Lentis hospital network. Registration lasts for a standard period of five years, but can be extended in cases of repeated fraud, which harms careers in local companies such as the municipality or Randstad. Employers in Zoetermeer often dismiss fraudulent employees immediately upon discovery. Criminal prosecution follows under the Economic Offences Act, with fines up to €90,000 or imprisonment, and the local police in Zoetermeer collaborate with the FIOD. Objection to registration must be filed within four weeks with the CFEL, with solid evidence of innocence – a procedure that requires legal assistance from Zoetermeer law firms. Successful objections lead to removal, but the complexity is high. The register shares data with external parties, raising privacy issues under the GDPR, especially in a municipality like Zoetermeer with strict data policies. Victims report stigmatisation in the community, leading to psychological complaints. Experts advise honest reporting to local insurers to avoid these risks in Zoetermeer. (212 words)
