About our team in Phetchabun

Phetchabun is a highland farming province that has moved quickly into tourism, above all at Khao Kho and Phu Thap Boek. Converting farmland into accommodation has produced a distinctly local set of disputes: land rights overlapping forest and land-reform (Sor Por Kor) areas, accommodation-business licensing, and administrative cases against agencies issuing demolition or suspension orders.

Land carrying statutory restrictions is not fixed by writing a tighter contract — the restriction attaches to the land, not the agreement. We therefore establish the land classification and the true rights before planning anything, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Phetchabun and Lom Sak Provincial Courts.

Courts we appear at in Phetchabun

Frequently asked questions — traffic accident lawyer in Phetchabun

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.
