In general, it can sometimes be quite complicated to prove medical negligence or malpractice, as it is required to obtain sufficient evidence. The best way to prove misconduct of a doctor, hospital or any other health care facility, is to provide an expert report with such a conclusion, or at least another doctor’s opinion indicating that there was something wrong within the work of other professionals. We closely cooperate with legal and forensic experts which are ready to assess your case and, based on the relevant medical records, advise whether medical malpractice could have occurred and how to prove it sufficiently.
The potential compensation may differ significantly as it always depends on the specific circumstances of your case. Pain, medical costs, loss of earnings, permanent consequences and social disadvantage are all taken into account when calculating your claim.

If you, as a passenger, suffer personal injuries in a traffic accident without breaking traffic regulations yourself (for example, by not wearing your seatbelt), you are entitled to compensation from the liability insurance of the person at fault in all circumstances. This applies even if the driver of the vehicle in which you were sitting in the passenger seat was at fault. It does not matter whether the driver is your partner, a relative, a person otherwise close to you or, on the contrary, a person practically unknown to you. If you are a passenger of the person at fault, you are equally a victim of a car accident. As drivers are legally obliged to pay their compulsory insurance, you can claim compensation directly from the driver’s insurance company. So don’t be afraid, if you suffer injuries in a car accident caused by your loved one’s carelessness, to make a personal injury claim against their insurance company. Compensation is thus possible without further punishing the person at fault for the accident.
Often it can be based on the actual circumstances in which the accident took place. In certain cases, fault is indicated by the official reports describing the course of the accident. Even if the determination of the culprit is difficult, do not hesitate to contact us. We have established cooperation with legal and forensic experts in many fields who can share their opinion and advice on what the next steps should be.

Anyway, feel free to share your story even if it concerns any other sport accident, we will evaluate it and provide our feedback.
