How we can help
If you are injured as a passenger, the law always protects you. You are entitled to full compensation regardless of who caused the accident, even if the driver was a relative or a friend. We claim directly against the relevant insurer so that you never have to confront the person who was driving.
Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable road users, and among the most exposed when dealing with insurers. Companies routinely try to blame the rider — excessive speed, lack of skill — to avoid paying substantial compensation. We work with accident reconstruction experts to dismantle those arguments and claim every euro due for the physical and cosmetic consequences and the time taken to recover.
A crash on the way to or from work — or during the working day if the vehicle is your tool of trade, as for sales reps, couriers and hauliers — is really two cases at once. You are entitled to have it treated as an accident at work by the insurer, and you are also entitled to claim civil compensation from the at-fault vehicle’s insurer. We run both routes so that nothing you are owed goes unclaimed.
After an accident, on top of the physical recovery comes the most draining part: insurers offering less than is fair, endless paperwork, and the feeling that you are facing it alone. We make sure the compensation you receive reflects the harm actually done, taking over the negotiation entirely so that you are paid what the law provides rather than what the insurer would prefer.
Where the driver who wrecked your car and injured you was under the influence of drink or drugs, or drove dangerously, the picture changes entirely: the case becomes a criminal one. In those situations we act as private prosecutor without hesitation, seeking the conviction the offence warrants and the highest compensation available for the harm done.
On the road you are the most exposed party. Insurers frequently seize on any excuse — crossing in the wrong place, not wearing anything reflective — to blame the victim and avoid paying. We take that strategy apart, keep the blame from being shifted onto you, and secure the fullest compensation for your injuries.
What happens if the driver at fault leaves the scene, or you discover their insurance had lapsed? Many people assume they have lost the right to compensation. They have not. We bring your claim directly against the state insurance compensation body, which answers for your injuries and property damage exactly as a private insurer would.
Your vehicle is wrecked and the insurer offers a token “market value” that would not buy anything comparable. You do not have to absorb that loss. We claim the true market value or the full cost of repair, so that you are not out of pocket over an accident you did not cause.
Whiplash is the most common injury and the one insurers most often deny or play down, arguing the impact was “low speed”. We work with medical experts to establish the real extent of the injury, the exact period of rehabilitation and any lasting effects, so that every day of suffering is paid for.
A serious accident hits your income as well as your health. If you are self-employed and cannot work, if earnings have stopped, or if you have paid out of pocket for crutches, taxis to rehabilitation or medication, all of it should be reimbursed. We document every euro lost so that it forms part of the final settlement.
