Frequently asked questions — traffic accident lawyer in Pattaya

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.
