For clients in Porto 🇵🇹

If a road accident occurred in Porto 🇵🇹, the first conversation needs the date, location and how it was recorded. Identify the vehicles' registration countries and insurers already notified. We arrange secure sharing of police records, photographs and any medical materials separately.

When you may need help

After an accident, the car needs repairs while the parties dispute fault and costs. Legal assessment depends on incident records, the vehicle’s condition and damage documents. We clarify which issues concern insurance compensation and which require a separate claim.

What we can do

  • Examine accident records and the parties’ liability circumstances.
  • Check damage documents and the need for an independent assessment.
  • Prepare claims and objections and agree on representation in the dispute.

What to prepare for the consultation

  • Police records, a European accident statement or other incident documents.
  • Damage photos, assessment, invoices and vehicle documents.
  • Insurance policy, claims submitted to the insurer and decisions received.

If some documents are missing, start by describing the situation: we will identify what else needs to be obtained. In the first form, the country, the nature of the matter and important dates are enough; document numbers and scans are not needed.

What to bear in mind

Repair costs and the recoverable amount may differ. If the accident happened abroad, the application procedure and parties involved in settlement are determined separately.

Process and cost

  1. You describe the situation and the outcome you want.
  2. We clarify the circumstances, the country and the documents needed for review.
  3. Before paid work begins, we agree on its scope, cost and format: consultation, document preparation or representation.

The cost depends on the volume of documents, the stage of the case and the need for involvement in another country. Court fees, notarial acts, translations and expert assessments are discussed separately if required. The outcome depends on the circumstances, evidence and decisions of the competent authorities.

Frequently asked question

Must I wait for the insurance payment before discussing the case?

No. Documents and the procedure for recording damage can be checked early. This helps coordinate the sequence of steps with the insurer and other parties.

Can I get help with “Compensation after a road accident” if I live abroad?

We can start remotely while you are abroad. In your first message, state where you live and where the relevant party, property or authority is located. We will check whether a representative can take particular steps and whether the procedure requires your personal participation.

Does my country of residence decide which law applies to “Compensation after a road accident”?

No. Your place of residence alone does not decide which law applies. Relevant factors can include the countries connected to the parties, where an event or contractual duty took place, where property is located and which authority is handling the matter. We first check the connection to Ukraine, the potentially applicable law and whether local counsel in another country is needed.

What if I do not have all the documents for “Compensation after a road accident”?

You do not need a complete file to make an initial inquiry. Give us a short timeline, your desired outcome, important dates and a list of the documents you already have. Document numbers and scans are not needed in the first inquiry; after clarifying the facts, we will identify what is missing.

What determines the cost of help with “Compensation after a road accident”, and can I limit the scope?

Before paid work begins, we agree on its format, specific steps, deliverables and fee. The cost depends on the materials, stage of the matter and any work involving another country. Court or official fees, notarial acts, translations and expert reviews are discussed separately if needed.

Can you guarantee the outcome or timeframe for “Compensation after a road accident”?

No. We cannot promise a decision by a court or authority, or the actions of another party. After reviewing the facts, we explain the available options, evidence needed, risks and the timing of our own work. The overall duration can also depend on other parties, authorities and cross-border procedures; tell us promptly about notices and dates.
