About our team in Chumphon

Chumphon is the gateway to the South and simultaneously an oil-palm, rubber, durian, and fishing province. The work that arises is crop purchase and buying-yard contracts, agricultural debt and enforcement, plantation land and inheritance disputes, labour cases at palm-oil mills and cold stores, and migrant labour in fisheries.

Labour cases in fisheries and cold storage carry an inspection and international-standards dimension as well, not merely an employer-employee dispute. We address both together so that solving one does not create the other. The file is run from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and we travel to appear at the Chumphon and Lang Suan Provincial Courts.

Frequently asked questions — traffic accident lawyer in Chumphon

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.
