TRAFFIC ACCIDENT


TRAFFIC ACCIDENT

Damages for traffic accidents include medical expences, travelling expences, hospitarization expences, pain and suffering, lost wages, cost of repair of the car and other personal properties, aftereffects, and so on.

There are multiple calculation methods for calculating damages regarding torts. When one is harmed in a traffic accident, generally the amount the insurance company contracted by the tortfeasor proposes to the victim when the victim himself negotiates with the company is lower than when the attorney hired by the victim negotiates with the conmpany or litigates.

Once the victim accepts the proposal of the opposite party or the insurance company, it is difficult to revoke it or make it void.

Also, some attorneys in our firm have been asked by multiple insurance companies to deal with traffic accident cases.
