Accidents and Liability
A compensation claim requires determining how the event occurred, who is responsible, and what consequences may be attributed to it. We assist in establishing liability and pursuing compensation, coordinating the legal process with the necessary technical and medical-legal investigations.
Reconstruct the event before the request
A car accident, a fall, or property damage requires first understanding the dynamics, location, people, and circumstances. We gather available documents and information, distinguishing between observed facts, memories, and technical assessments yet to be performed.
Liability, damages, and insurance are related but distinct. The fact that a person has suffered an injury does not automatically determine who is liable for compensation; it is necessary to verify the title of liability and its relationship to the event.
Evidence, the course of events and the parties involved
Minutes, photographs, witness names, vehicle or location documents, and initial communications can be crucial. Timely preservation of evidence is important, especially when the condition of the location may change.
We examine the individuals' conduct, possible complicity, custody relationships, and other relevant elements. For reconstructive or technical issues, we consider the input of competent professionals, without substituting a hypothesis for an investigation.
Material damage and personal consequences
Consequences must be documented separately: repairs, damaged property, expenses, loss of income, injuries, and care needs. Each item requires a concrete basis and a connection to the event, avoiding overlap.
For injuries, medical records and a medical-legal assessment help reconstruct the course and consequences. In severe cases, future care and daily life modifications must also be considered, with a dedicated treatment plan.
The claim and discussions with insurers
We identify the recipients of the claim and the relevant procedure, verifying documents, information to be submitted, and applicable deadlines. Not all accidents follow the same insurance path, and not every company involved responds in the same way.
We examine offers, requests for additions, disputes, and receipts. Before accepting a settlement, it's important to understand its purpose and consequences, distinguishing between a down payment and a definitive closure of the position.
An example: falling in an area open to the public
The presence of damage is not enough to identify liability. It is necessary to reconstruct the conditions of the location, the dynamics, visibility, reports, those who had access to the area, and the person's conduct. Photographs, testimonies, and medical records have different functions and must be coordinated.
The example is illustrative and does not imply an automatic right to compensation for every fall.
The initial case review
Prepare a timeline, available reports and photographs, company communications, expense records, and relevant medical records. Report offers received, signed documents, and pending proceedings. We identify missing evidence, activities, and possible paths.
Frequently asked questions
Should I accept an offer right away?
It's helpful to first understand its scope and its relationship to the damages.
Does the report resolve every issue?
It should be read along with other evidence.
Can I estimate the damages with a calculator?
An abstract figure is no substitute for examining liability and documented consequences.
