Bodily Injuries Beyond Traffic Accidents
When discussing bodily injury compensation, we cover injuries resulting from multiple causes beyond traffic accidents: an injury at a public facility due to maintenance negligence, a workplace injury not covered by social insurance, or bodily harm resulting from a direct assault by another party. Each type of injury has a slightly different path for proof and claiming.
Proving Negligence as the Basis for a Claim
The fundamental rule in these cases is proving the harm resulted from the other party's negligence or failure, not merely an incidental accident. We help clients gather necessary evidence: maintenance reports, witness statements, and any documentation showing the responsible party knew or should have known of the danger and failed to take necessary action.
Calculating Compensation for Treatment Costs
Compensation due covers all actual and future treatment costs tied to the injury, from surgical procedures to physical therapy sessions, and we help clients fully document these costs to ensure no item is overlooked when submitting the claim.
Compensation for Lost Work and Income
When an injury prevents the injured party from working temporarily or permanently, they are entitled to compensation for lost income during this period, and we help precisely estimate this compensation based on the injured party's average income before the injury and the medical report defining the expected disability period.
Moral Damages Accompanying Serious Injury
Serious injuries, especially those leaving a permanent effect like disfigurement or partial disability, warrant additional compensation for moral damage to the injured party and sometimes their immediate family. We help estimate this compensation realistically based on similar rulings issued in comparable cases.
Workplace Injuries Not Covered by Social Insurance
Some workers, especially in informal sectors or working for subcontractors, may not be covered by full social insurance coverage when a workplace injury occurs. In these cases, a direct civil compensation claim against the employer or negligent party becomes the appropriate path for claiming full entitlement.
Injuries to Children and Minors
When the injury befalls a minor, we help guardians file the lawsuit on their behalf, accounting for the fact that some aspects of compensation, such as the injury's impact on their educational or professional future, need special assessment different from adult cases.
Negotiating With Insurance Companies Before Escalating to Litigation
Many bodily injury claims are resolved through direct negotiation with the responsible insurance company before reaching the litigation stage, and we help clients realistically assess any settlement offer, avoiding acceptance of an amount far less than the actual injury warrants.
The Role of Forensic Medical Reports in Strengthening a Claim
When an injury is complex or its link to the claimed accident is disputed, we may seek an independent forensic medical report documenting the injury's nature and its causal link to the accident with scientific precision, significantly strengthening the legal position against any objection from the other party or the insurance company.
Defective Product Injuries and Product Liability
When an injury results from using a defective product, such as an unsafe electrical device or industrial tool, product liability becomes an additional path for claiming, and we help affected parties identify the responsible party within the supply chain, whether the manufacturer, the distributor, or the final point of sale.
Injuries Resulting From Direct Physical Assault
When an injury results from an intentional assault by another party, the civil compensation path runs parallel to any potential criminal path against the assailant, and we help affected parties pursue both paths together, as a criminal conviction can sometimes strengthen the civil compensation claim's position.
Establishing Shared Fault Percentage in Some Cases
Not every injury results entirely from one party's fault; in some cases, the injured party shares part of the responsibility, which can reduce the compensation amount due by that shared fault percentage. We help clients understand this concept and realistically assess their position before entering any claim or negotiation.
Estimating Compensation for Long-Term and Chronic Injuries
Some injuries don't show their full effects immediately, but develop into a chronic condition requiring ongoing treatment for years. We help clients include this future dimension in compensation estimation, rather than settling for immediate treatment costs that may not reflect the true long-term harm.
The Importance of Immediately Documenting the Injury Location and Circumstances
We always advise affected parties to document the injury location and circumstances immediately if possible, through photographs or a short video recording, since this immediate documentation is often decisive later in proving the responsible party's negligence, especially if the site's physical conditions change after some time has passed since the incident.

Frequently Asked Questions
I was injured at a public facility due to a wet floor without warning. Can I claim compensation?
Yes if we establish the facility's negligence in warning or maintenance, and we help you gather necessary evidence like photos and witness statements to support the claim.
I was injured at a workplace not covered by social insurance. What are my options?
A direct civil compensation lawsuit can be filed against the employer or negligent party, and we help you build this claim independently from the insurance system.
The insurance company offered an amount far less than I expected. Should I accept?
Do not sign any release before showing it to us; signing could extinguish your right to an additional claim even if the damage later proves greater.
My minor son was injured in an accident. How do I file the lawsuit on his behalf?
We help you file the lawsuit as legal guardian, with special assessment of the injury's impact on his educational or professional future within the compensation amount.
How long does a typical bodily injury compensation case take?
It varies with proof complexity and how cooperative the other party or insurance company is, and may be settled through direct negotiation within weeks or take months if it reaches litigation.
Does compensation include moral damages if the injury left a permanent effect?
Yes, serious injuries leaving disfigurement or partial disability warrant additional moral damage compensation, and we help you realistically assess this aspect.
