Traffic Law
In few areas do the innocent suffer as many disadvantages as after a traffic accident. We make sure you are fully compensated.
Timing matters
If, after an accident involving your vehicle, you leave the claim settlement to the opposing party's liability insurer, they will handle it in their own interest. Injured parties often do not notice that they are being 'settled down'.
How you risk being 'settled down' without noticing
The opposing insurer settles the claim as it sees fit. Whether the settlement would hold up in court often remains untested – and you receive less than you are entitled to.
The attorney does the work for you
Instructing a certified specialist with expert knowledge significantly improves the chances of full, legally compliant compensation. We handle the correspondence and step in as soon as the insurer gets it wrong.
Attorney's fees are paid by the opposing insurer
If you are not at fault for the accident, the opposing liability insurer must reimburse the cost of your legal representation – just as they must cover an automotive expert's report.
Use the online accident form
As certified specialists we handle claim settlement on the basis of your documentation. You provide the documents once – we take care of everything else.
Frequently asked questions
Who pays the lawyer after a traffic accident that wasn't my fault?
If you are not at fault, the opposing party's liability insurer covers the full cost of your legal representation. You pay nothing.
Should I settle directly with the opposing insurer?
No. Insurers routinely underpay claims. A certified specialist in traffic law enforces your full rights – the costs are borne by the other side anyway.
How quickly should I act after an accident?
The sooner, the better. Evidence fades, experts need to be instructed, claims need to be filed. Contact a lawyer on the day of the accident or within 48 hours.
