Compensation for Damages After a DTA: How to Secure Payment

Compensation for damages after a DTA is a complex process requiring proof of the culprit’s fault and proper documentation. According to Article 1187 of the Civil Code of Ukraine, victims can claim compensation for property damage, medical expenses, or moral harm. Lawyers on the Legal Marketplace Consultant assist in gathering evidence, conducting expert assessments, and filing a lawsuit. For instance, if the insurance payout does not cover repair costs (due to depreciation up to 70%), we recover the difference from the culprit. The process includes the following steps:

1. Evidence collection: police protocol, photos/videos from the scene, expert conclusions.
2. Filing a claim: to the culprit’s insurance company or MTSBU within 1 year (for property damage) or 3 years (for health-related harm).
3. Lawsuit submission: to the local court at the culprit’s residence or the accident location.
4. Court representation: arguing the fault and extent of damages.
5. Execution of judgment: ensuring recovery of funds or seizure of the culprit’s assets.

Our specialists increase the chances of full compensation to 80%, relying on Supreme Court precedents, which confirms the right to recover the difference between actual costs and insurance payouts.

Important to Note: To successfully recover damages, a claim must be filed with the culprit’s insurance company within 3 working days after the DTA, otherwise the compensation process may be complicated.

Lawyer for DTAs: Your Defender in Court and Negotiations

Engaging a lawyer for DTAs greatly simplifies the compensation process, especially if the insurance company denies payment or the culprit evades responsibility. Our lawyers on the Consultant platform negotiate with the culprit or their insurer to secure voluntary compensation or prepare a lawsuit. For example, if the culprit lacks an OSAGO policy, we help recover the full amount of damages, including evacuation or legal aid costs. Benefits of working with our lawyers:

• Case material analysis: reviewing police protocols and other documents.
• Expert assessments: evaluating actual repair or medical costs.
• Online support: consultations via mobile app or "Electronic Court."
• Transparent pricing: from 600 UAH for a consultation to a fixed fee for full support.

Our specialists have experience in cases where the insurance company is bankrupt or underestimates payouts, enabling recovery directly from the culprit under Article 1192 of the Civil Code.

Recovery of Damages from the DTA Culprit: Success Strategies

Recovering damages from the DTA culprit is possible if the insurance payout is insufficient or the culprit is uninsured. On the Legal Marketplace Consultant, our lawyers use proven strategies, relying on Civil Code provisions and court practice. For instance, if the culprit was driving under the influence or fled the scene, we recover full compensation, including moral damages. We offer:

• Pre-trial settlement: negotiations with the culprit for voluntary compensation.
• Lawsuit preparation: clear justification of fault and damage extent.
• Court representation: defending the victim’s interests at all stages.
• Judgment enforcement: ensuring recovery of funds or asset seizure.

Data shows that 50% of damage recovery cases succeed with a lawyer’s involvement. We also assist in cases of mutual fault, distributing liability under Article 1188 of the Civil Code.
