What to do right after a crash
01
Stop, switch on the hazard lights and put out the warning triangle. Do not move the car before everything is recorded, except where the law allows a European accident statement.
02
Call the police on 102 and an ambulance on 103 if needed. Look after anyone who is injured.
03
Record everything: photos of the cars, the plates, the damage, the positions, and the witnesses contacts.
04
Do not rush to admit fault and do not sign anything you do not understand.
05
Notify the insurer within the deadline and call a lawyer before you give any statement.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
Yes. The difference between your actual losses and the payout can be recovered from the party at fault through the court. We will assess the prospects at the consultation, once we have reviewed the documents.
We appeal. We examine the accident diagram, the video, the expert findings and the witness statements. Where there are grounds, we push for a review.
The general limitation period is 3 years, but it is better to act at once, while the evidence is fresh and the circumstances can still be reconstructed.
It is advisable. Properly drafted documents and a correct assessment of the damage have a real effect on the amount you end up receiving.
You need a defence from day one. Do not give any statement without a lawyer: what you say at the start shapes the whole process that follows.
It depends on how complex the case is. The basic packages are in the pricing section, and we name the exact fee after analysing your situation.
OUR EXPERIENCE
Case examples
✓ LOSSES RECOVERED
Compensation above the insurance limit
Situation: the client was hurt in a crash and the insurance payout did not cover the full repair.
Actions: we gathered the evidence, obtained a valuation and filed a claim against the party at fault.
Result: the court granted the claim and the difference was recovered.
✓ RULING SET ASIDE
Challenging fault in a crash
Situation: the client was found at fault and did not agree with the accident diagram.
Actions: we analysed the file, brought in a vehicle engineering expert and appealed the ruling.
Result: the ruling was set aside.
✓ DEFENCE SECURED
Defence in proceedings under Art. 286 of the Criminal Code
Situation: a crash with an injured person, criminal proceedings opened.
Actions: defence from the pre-trial investigation onwards, work on the evidence and on mitigating circumstances.
Result: the mildest outcome available under the law was achieved.
Cases are anonymised. Every case is individual, the outcome depends on the specific circumstances and is not guaranteed.
