The T&R Law Firm provides legal assistance—both in and out of court—regarding compensation for damages resulting from road traffic accidents.

Initially, the lawyers open a claim with the relevant insurance company by sending a formal notice seeking payment for pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages, accompanied by the necessary documentation.

Subsequently, in cases involving personal injury, the lawyers arrange a medical-legal examination with the insurance company to assess the severity of the injury and any permanent after-effects.

The lawyers then review the insurance company’s settlement offers with the client—and, where appropriate, with their own trusted medical-legal experts—evaluating on a case-by-case basis whether to pursue legal action.

It is worth noting that the vehicle owner, the driver, and the insurance company are jointly and severally liable for compensating the damages (Art. 2054 of the Civil Code).

In certain instances (collisions between vehicles involving only property damage or personal injury not exceeding a 9% impairment rating), the injured party may utilize the direct compensation procedure provided for in Art. 148 of the Insurance Code, submitting their claim directly to their own insurance company.

Where the accident involves a passenger, that individual has the right to take action pursuant to Art. Article 141 of the Insurance Code, against the insurance company of the vehicle in which he or she was being transported at the time of the road accident.
