Do you have damage to your home or other property and suspect it was caused by ground movements resulting from gas extraction in Groningen? If so, you may be eligible for compensation. Several reimbursement options are available. This may include fixed compensation, tailored financial compensation or recovery. It does matter that you have not received compensation in the past. An independent inspector will assess the damage.
Read more about these options below.
Fixed fee
As a property owner, you can report damage to your property. If this is the first claim notification at the address and you meet the other conditions, you can opt for fixed compensation. This involves a one-time lump sum payment for all mining claims. For more information, visit the website of the Groningen Mining Damage Institute (IMG).
Tailored financial compensation
If you discover damage to your home or other building, you can also choose to have your claim handled through customization. This means there is a damage assessment. An expert assesses the cause of the damage and determines the amount needed to repair it. For more information, visit IMG’s website.
Recovery
Another option is that you, the owner, will not be financially compensated, but the damage will be repaired. Then in-kind recovery may be an interesting option for you. This involves hiring a contractor to repair the damage for you, leaving you without financial compensation. For more information, visit IMG’s website.
