Material losses, lost profit, the costs of treatment and restoration, moral damages, and also the court fee and the costs of legal assistance. Every element has to be proved with documents.

The general limitation period is three years from the moment you learned about the damage and about the person responsible. For the period of martial law its running is suspended, so the deadline may be later than it seems. In some categories the periods differ, so it is better not to put it off: evidence disappears faster than deadlines do.

Yes, some cases are closed by a demand letter or a settlement agreement, especially once the person at fault sees the evidence collected. But the agreement has to be put in writing and drafted properly, otherwise you lose the right to go to court.

Almost always. The court does not accept a rough figure: a valuer’s report, an estimate, receipts or a court-appointed expert examination is needed. The cost of the valuation is also recovered from the person at fault.

A straightforward case in the first instance takes roughly three to six months. If an expert examination is needed or there is an appeal, longer. We will give a more precise estimate after analysing the documents.

First we check the assets and income of the person at fault. If the damage comes from a road accident, the insurer often pays under the policy. In difficult cases we work through attachment of assets and enforcement proceedings.
