Liability and compensation for damages
Medical malpractice, road traffic accidents, professional and contractual liability, dealings with insurance companies.
Compensation is an area in which evidence counts for more than argument. What can be documented in the first few weeks — medical reports, photographs, names of witnesses, expenses incurred — determines the outcome far more than the quality of the pleadings drafted months later.
That is why the firm's first step is to provide a precise list of what to gather and what not to do: signing a receipt in full settlement, accepting an advance payment, or signing a statement of events before understanding your own position are actions that carry weight until the very end.
Medical malpractice
It has its own rules, starting with the obligation to undergo a preliminary technical assessment or mediation before bringing a claim. It is also the area in which the opinion of a forensic medical expert must be sought before deciding whether to act: the firm works with external consultants and accounts for that cost from the outset.
Dealing with the insurer
The insurance company is obliged to make an offer within set time limits, and an offer that arrives is not necessarily a fair one. The gap between what is offered and what is owed is measured against the applicable compensation tables and the forensic medical evidence, not by negotiation.
