About our team in Chai Nat

Chai Nat is a rice and agriculture province in the Chao Phraya basin — home to the Chao Phraya Dam (the major barrage that distributes irrigation water across the Central plains), the Chai Nat Bird Park, and river logistics along the Chao Phraya, Noi, and Tha Chin rivers. Matters here often involve land, agriculture, irrigation water rights, rice and produce sale contracts, and civil, criminal, and family litigation. We handle land and inheritance disputes, business contracts, and general cases from our Bangkok branch.

Chai Nat is a Central-region province close to Bangkok, so our Bangkok branch (Lat Phrao) can attend court and coordinate with local agencies conveniently. As a firm with 40+ years' experience, we understand land and inheritance disputes across farming districts, irrigation water rights tied to the Chao Phraya Dam, and rice and produce sale contracts — with multilingual service for clients and investors, and we travel to provincial courts nationwide.

Frequently asked questions — traffic accident lawyer in Chai Nat

3 questions answered

DUI causing injury triggers both the Land Traffic Act and the Penal Code, carrying penalties of imprisonment and fines according to the severity of the outcome. Prompt restitution to the victim and a guilty plea are mitigating factors the court typically considers. We help negotiate settlement and prepare mitigation submissions.
Compulsory insurance (under the Road Accident Victims Protection Act) covers personal-injury losses up to a statutory cap and pays out immediately. Voluntary insurance covers everything else (vehicle repair, losses above the statutory cap). Victims typically claim from the at-fault vehicle's compulsory policy first, then the excess from the at-fault driver's voluntary policy.
In hit-and-run cases, the Road Victims Compensation Fund pays initial medical and compensation amounts in the at-fault driver's place. Victims apply through the Office of Insurance Commission (OIC), while the police continue searching for the driver. We handle both tracks in parallel.
