Step One: Document the Accident Immediately
A traffic accident must be officially documented as soon as it occurs through the relevant authorities, because the accident report and the fault percentage it establishes are the foundation any subsequent compensation claim is built on. Any delay in documentation or moving vehicles before relevant authorities arrive could complicate proving the actual fault percentage later.
Elements of Owed Compensation
Compensation owed for a traffic accident includes several elements: full medical treatment costs, compensation for time off work if the accident affected your work capacity, compensation for material damage to the vehicle, and in serious cases, compensation for permanent disability or moral damage resulting from the accident.
Claiming From the Insurance Company
After documenting the accident, a claim is filed with the insurance company of the party responsible for the accident, which is obligated to cover material and physical damages per the policy and the fault percentage determined in the official report.
Shared-Fault Accidents
When a shared fault percentage is determined between the accident's two parties, this doesn't mean losing your compensation right entirely; you can claim partial compensation proportional to the other party's fault percentage, and we help you precisely calculate this percentage and review the possibility of objecting to it if unfair.
What If the Claim Is Rejected or Undervalued?
If the insurance company rejects the claim or undervalues it without sufficient justification, you have the right to litigate before the relevant body to claim the full, fair compensation, supported by medical and technical reports proving the actual extent of damage.
Fatal Accidents and Serious Injuries
In cases of death or serious injuries resulting from a traffic accident, the claim becomes more complex and may include additional compensation for heirs or the injured party, and we help families understand their full rights in these difficult circumstances with complete sensitivity.
