    Accident compensation lawyer – assistance for fair compensation

    We represent exclusively insured parties, victims, and policy beneficiaries. We intervene in the pre-litigation phase (compensation claim, negotiations, SAL-FIN/FGA) and in court.

    The mandate, documents and stages are defined in writing after reviewing the matter.

    Why is it useful to hire a lawyer in compensation cases

    Legal expertise makes the difference between an insufficient offer and full compensation

    Correct legal framing

    A lawyer quickly identifies the legal grounds (RCA/CASCO, civil liability, FGA, SAL-FIN) and outlines the appropriate strategy for your case.

    Complete evidence

    Essential documents (medical, estimates, photos, correspondence) and their order are established in advance to avoid gaps or contradictions.

    Compliance with deadlines

    Prescriptions and procedural deadlines are correctly calculated so that rights are preserved.

    Damage assessment

    The lawyer rigorously documents material and moral damages and substantiates the claim (including interest/penalties, where the law allows).

    Structured negotiation with the insurer

    Communications are technically drafted, with reasoned positions, increasing the chances of a correct solution without litigation.

    Procedural alternatives

    Conciliation, SAL-FIN, or court are chosen at the right time – on cost-benefit criteria.

    Special situations

    In case of insurer insolvency, the lawyer manages the procedures with the FGA (eligibility, deadlines, file).

    Avoiding frequent errors

    Statements or steps that can later be used against your interests are prevented.

    Clarity for decision-makers

    You receive a procedural plan, timeline, risks, and next steps – easy to follow and approve.

    When it is worth calling immediately

    You received payment refusal or an obviously undervalued offer

    Delays beyond communicated deadlines or lack of motivated response

    There are bodily injuries or complex file (multiple parties, expertises)

    The insurer is in insolvency → procedures towards FGA

    What you get specifically

    Procedural plan with stages and deadlines

    Document list and drafted templates

    Negotiation notes and representation in correspondence/SAL-FIN

    Periodic updates and summary report for decision

    Checklist – first discussion

    Policy/ID and contact details
    Police report/amicable statement, photos
    Estimate/repair estimates or medical documents
    Any correspondence with the insurer
    RCA – bodily injuries and death

    Our priority is documenting the damage (medical expenses, unrealized income, work capacity impairment, moral damages), complying with evidence standards and current jurisprudence.

    What compensation can be claimed

    • Material damages: treatments, care, income losses, adaptations
    • Moral damages: physical and psychological suffering
    • Interest/penalties for delay, as the case may be

    Procedural steps

    • 1

      Notification and document submission

      Prompt notification of the insurer and file completion

    • 2

      Insurer's offer and negotiation

      Expertises/medical reports and damage assessment
