Civil lawsuits: Participants in road accidents have the right to protect their rights through a civil lawsuit. This may include compensation for the damages they have suffered as a result of the accident, including compensation for material damages and compensation for non-pecuniary damage.
Victims' Rights: Victims of road accidents have the right to medical assistance and compensation for medical expenses and compensation for other damages, including loss of earnings, property restoration costs, etc.
legal protection in an accident: In cases where the insurance company refuses to indemnify the damages or an agreement between the parties is not reached, the participants in the road accident have the right to go to court to resolve the dispute and protect their rights.
Rights to appeal to law enforcement agencies: In the event of an accident with victims, they have the right to appeal to the police to draw up an accident report and conduct an investigation.

Road accident legal protection: Road accident victims can seek legal help from lawyers or legal advisers to obtain road accident protection, who specialize in civil cases and insurance law.
