Once again, I must praise the firm’s knowledgeable and assured work in the field of European consumer protection. In my dispute with suppliers, their expertise in civil law almost surpassed what they had previously demonstrated in traffic law. They dealt patiently with the lengthy proceedings in the Slovak courts and persistently pursued my goals through to the successful conclusion of the case.

Traffic accidents
A road accident can raise questions of liability, criminal or administrative offence proceedings and insurance cover at the same time. Recording the circumstances promptly, securing supporting material and correctly assessing each party’s claims are important for the steps that follow.
We represent people involved in road accidents, injured parties and bereaved family members. Our work includes defence and representation in related proceedings, claims for property damage, personal injury and non-material harm, and disputes with insurers. We also handle accidents with a cross-border element, insurers’ recovery claims and disputes over repairs to damaged vehicles.

Our approach
We assess an accident using records of what happened, medical documentation, professional opinions, expert reports and evidence of the damage sustained. We consider these materials together, particularly in relation to the causes of the accident, liability and the extent of its consequences.
We coordinate compensation claims with related proceedings and communications with the insurer. If an insurer refuses or reduces payment, we examine its reasons and the material supporting them. In cross-border cases, we also consider the applicable law and where and against whom a claim can be brought.
