What Raasveld Expertise does

Raasveld Expertise is a Dutch professional services firm headquartered in Nijverdal, Netherlands, that specializes in personal injury (letselschade) claims handling for liability insurers and self-insured entities. Founded in the early 1990s as a small expertise bureau and operated for over 30 years as an independent family business under Director Toine Raasveld, the firm has grown into a national organization of approximately 65 specialists including NIVRE Register-Experts, liability investigators (toedrachtsonderzoekers), loss adjusters, actuaries, and a data specialist.

The company delivers its services through five integrated lines: (1) Expertise — liability investigation requiring a mandatory POB license from the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security; (2) Claims / Claims-Regres — flexible-capacity claims treatment from initial report to final settlement; (3) Detachering — secondment of specialists into client workflows on a project basis; (4) Advies — advisory services including damage calculations, training programs, and quality audits; and (5) Herstelgerichte Dienstverlening — a recovery-oriented settlement approach offering practical support (household help, transportation) via partners Dé Letselschadehulpdienst and MetZorg, plus long-term reintegration support. The firm holds the Nationaal Keurmerk Letselschade quality mark and operates under the Gedragscode Behandeling Letselschade.

The business model is B2B professional services revenue, delivered exclusively to WA-verzekeraars (Dutch liability insurers) and eigenrisicodragers (self-insurers) on a national basis. Pricing is negotiated per engagement and not publicly disclosed. Marketing is conservative and primarily referral-driven through industry reputation, professional networks, and direct relationships. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-led, with no consumer-facing channel and no disclosed funding, M&A, or external investor involvement.
