About our team in Phayao

Phayao is an agricultural province with the Ban Huak crossing into Laos and, in the University of Phayao, a concentration of working-age residents and rental tenants. The legal work mixes accordingly: farm-household land and inheritance, agricultural debt and enforcement, lease and property matters around the town, and general criminal defence.

Farm-household land and inheritance disputes are usually entangled with family relationships; rushing to file without sequencing the steps tends to cost both the case and the relationship. We set the approach — negotiate or litigate — at the outset, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Phayao Provincial Court.

Frequently asked questions — traffic accident lawyer in Phayao

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.
