The story of Kristel Peters

Obstetrician Kristel Peters experienced a medical error that drastically changed her life.

What happened to Kristel Peters?

After a deformity, Kristel underwent a corrective tendon surgery that resulted in a misalignment of her right ankle. This was an error during the operation that led to unforeseen complications.

Impact of the injury

The misalignment caused severe pain, instability, and loss of strength in her right foot. Due to overcompensation, she developed wear and tear in other joints. Kristel struggled to walk and was limited to wearing only a few types of shoes. Standing for long periods or walking on uneven surfaces like grass or sand became nearly impossible, making it difficult to attend events like weddings, concerts, or festivals. Running was completely out of the question.

What did Kristel require?

Kristel needed acknowledgment and acceptance of the fact that her situation would not improve. Practically, she required insoles, physiotherapy, orthopedic shoes, and pain medication to support her mobility.

Sinds april 2019 hebben wij een top ervaring gehad met mw. Liane Foe, als letselschade advocaat. Liane is heel zakelijk, professioneel en persoonlijk. Echt zeker een aanrader om hulp van Liane in te schakelen. Nu maart 2021 wordt de zaak afgerond. Ik heb een uiterst prettige ervaring de afgelopen jaren met mw de Foe gehad. Bedankt voor de goeie steun. Met vriendelijk groet, Jelena en Ysbrand

Liane heeft mij ruim 10 jaar bijgestaan nadat ik een scooterongeluk heb gehad. Haar advies is altijd eerlijk en duidelijk geweest. Ik kon altijd bij haar terecht met vragen en zij liet altijd weten hoe de communicatie liep met de tegenpartij. Ik zou Liane aan iedereen aanraden! Door haar heb ik het beste resultaat kunnen behalen.

Ik heb twee keer in mijn leven een letselschade advocaat gehad. Eén keer voor mezelf en één keer voor mijn dochter. Wat er in mijn zaak ontbrak, was ruim aanwezig toen we voor een aanrijding bij mijn dochter, Liane kregen als advocaat. Wat mijn advocaat niet had, had Liane in ruime mate: warmte, begrip en empathie. In zaken zoals deze zijn die eigenschappen super belangrijk, maar het is geen vanzelfsprekendheid. We zullen Liane hier altijd dankbaar voor blijven.

Ik wil Letselschade Advocaat Amsterdam bedanken voor hun geweldige hulp en ondersteuning. Vanaf het eerste gesprek voelde ik me serieus genomen en begrepen. Het team was deskundig, professioneel en altijd bereid om mijn vragen te beantwoorden. Ze hebben alles uit handen genomen, zodat ik me volledig kon richten op mijn herstel. De schadevergoeding die ze voor mij hebben geregeld, was boven verwachting. Ik kan dit kantoor aan iedereen aanraden die letselschade heeft opgelopen!

Wat een fijne en zorgvuldige advocaat is Liane Foe.Ik ben geweldig goed geholpen en een bijkomend pluspunt is haar vriendelijk- en menselijkheid. De omstandigheden om een letselschade advocaat in de arm te nemen, zijn over het algemeen niet prettig, maar door haar handelen is 'je zaak' in goede handen en kan je je focussen op herstel.Ik raad iedereen aan om haar in de arm te nemen!Nogmaals dank Liane!
