About our team in Sattahip

Sattahip mixes military zones, U-Tapao airport, and a coastline of holiday property. The legal work arrives in two groups. First, land and leases — boundaries, access rights, and the long leases foreign buyers need checked properly before money moves. Second, the service and contracting businesses growing around the airport, plus accident claims on the heavily-trafficked main roads.

Coastal land cases are decided by the title record and the survey plan, so we pull the Land Office file and apply for a boundary survey first — never relying on what a seller or agent says. On long leases we check the renewal terms and the exit route before signing, not after.

Frequently asked questions — traffic accident lawyer in Sattahip

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.
