About our team in Si Racha

Si Racha hosts Thailand's largest Japanese community outside Bangkok and the Pinthong and Saha Group industrial estates. Legal work here is factory work: employment contracts and work rules that have to cover Thai staff and foreign management alike, sub-contracting and automotive supply-chain agreements, work permits and visas for foreign staff, and the leases and condominium purchases of families posted here for years at a time.

We cover the Eastern seaboard from our Bangkok branch — meeting clients at the plant and appearing regularly at the Chonburi Provincial Court. We work in Thai, English and Chinese, which suits factories where management and HR do not share a first language.

Frequently asked questions — traffic accident lawyer in Si Racha

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.
