Claiming Compensation After a Car Accident from an insurance company after an accident is an important question that many injured parties or consumers face. This is especially the case when an injured party is injured to the extent that they are unable to work normally. Damages resulting from an accident are not limited to vehicle repair costs or medical expenses. They may also include lost income, ongoing medical expenses, and other damages depending on the facts and evidence of each case.
From an Offer of 60,000 Baht to Compensation of More Than 635,705 Baht
Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri would like to share an example involving an injured party who was involved in an accident while working as a motorcycle food delivery rider. The injured party was hit by the other party’s car and suffered multiple injuries, which prevented them from working normally and required several months of rest and medical treatment.
The injured party suffered injuries to the collarbone, a torn ankle ligament, abnormal movement of the right leg, and bone fragments from a fracture around the ankle. These injuries directly affected their ability to work. The injured party had previously earned approximately 30,000 to 40,000 baht per month. When they were unable to work, their income stopped as well.
During the inquiry stage, the injured party claimed 170,000 baht in damages from the other party’s insurance company. However, the insurance company offered only 60,000 baht in compensation, causing the injured party to question whether the amount was appropriate in relation to the actual damages suffered.
Claiming Compensation After a Car Accident Requires Looking Beyond Medical Expenses
This case is an example showing that when an accident occurs, the assessment of damages should not focus only on expenses incurred immediately after the accident. An injured person may also suffer ongoing losses from being unable to work, as well as future medical expenses and other damages that must be considered based on the facts of the case.
Therefore, injured parties should collect medical records, medical receipts, proof of income, documents relating to their employment, as well as evidence of property damage and other relevant documents. These pieces of evidence can play an important role in assessing and proving the damages suffered.
In this case, the injured party studied information from the Wongsakorn Law Firm YouTube channel before deciding to consult Lawyer Arm. The relevant documents and evidence were then collected to determine the appropriate course of legal action, after which the dispute was brought into arbitration proceedings.
Outcome: The Injured Party Received Compensation for Multiple Types of Damages
According to the information from the case example, the arbitrator issued an award ordering the insurance company to pay compensation for multiple types of damages, including:
Medical expenses and travel expenses: 138,272 baht
Future medical expenses: 100,000 baht
Laser treatment for scars: 45,000 baht
Compensation for loss of income during the period of illness: 96,000 baht
Compensation for non monetary damages: 250,000 baht
Damaged property, such as work clothes, trousers, shoes, and eyeglasses: 6,433 baht
The total amount was 635,705 baht, which was significantly different from the original offer of 60,000 baht.
However, these figures are from a specific case and do not mean that every person injured in an accident will receive the same amount. The amount of compensation depends on the facts, damages, evidence, and proceedings involved in each individual case.
Why Is Having a Lawyer Important When Claiming Compensation After a Car Accident?
The key point is not simply that having a lawyer will always result in receiving more money. Rather, a lawyer plays a role in analyzing the facts, assessing legal issues, gathering evidence, and presenting the claim in a systematic manner, which is different from discussing or negotiating without having a structured legal case.
For injured parties who are unfamiliar with legal procedures, assessing what damages they have suffered can be difficult, especially when they are injured to the extent that they are unable to work. This is because the damages may not occur only once but may continue to affect their income and future expenses.
The Office of the Insurance Commission also provides channels for filing complaints, mediation, and dispute resolution through arbitration, including an online arbitration system that allows members of the public to submit disputes and track their case status. Therefore, injured parties should study the options that are appropriate for the facts of their case and may seek legal advice to gain a clear understanding before choosing how to proceed.
If You Are Involved in a Car Accident, Do Not Rush to Make a Decision Based on the Amount Offered by the Insurance Company
In cases involving claims for damages after a car accident, it is important for the injured party to check their own rights before accepting an offer or signing any documents, especially documents that may relate to the settlement of a claim. Once an agreement has been reached and signed, the legal effect may vary depending on the wording and conditions of the document.
A single accident can have a chain of consequences, including medical expenses, lost income, travel expenses, future medical treatment, and other damages. Therefore, if an offer has been received from an insurance company and there is uncertainty as to whether it covers all of the damages, seeking legal advice at an early stage may help the injured party gain a clearer understanding of their rights and the appropriate course of action.
The example of the amount increasing from 60,000 baht to 635,705 baht is therefore an important reminder that
“Not Knowing the Law Is Not Wrong, But When Damages Occur, You Should Know What Rights You Have.”
If you or a family member is involved in a car accident and suffers injuries that affect your ability to work or your income, do not make a decision based solely on the offer you receive. You should gather the relevant documents and evidence and consult a lawyer to assess your rights and determine the appropriate legal course of action.

Compensation for Loss of Use of a Vehicle is a right that people injured in a motor vehicle accident should understand. When a vehicle is damaged and needs to be taken to a repair shop, the injured party may be unable to use the vehicle normally, and the damage may not be limited to the vehicle repair costs. There may also be losses resulting from the inability to use the vehicle during the repair period. However, making a claim does not mean that the claimant will automatically receive the amount requested. The facts, evidence, repair period, and details of the damages must all be considered together.
What Is Compensation for Loss of Use of a Vehicle?
From the perspective of Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri of Wongsakorn Law Firm, injured parties should understand that when an accident occurs and a vehicle is damaged to the point that it needs repairs, the period during which the vehicle cannot be used may result in additional losses. For example, the owner may need to rent another vehicle, travel by other means, or, if the vehicle is used for work, the loss of use may affect their income.
Therefore, before accepting an offer from an insurance company, the injured party should carefully review what types of damages the amount offered covers and whether the amount is consistent with the actual facts. The initial offer received may not be the final amount that reflects the full extent of the damages.
From an Offer of 7,500 Baht to Damages Worth Hundreds of Thousands of Baht
One case that Lawyer Arm presents as an example involved an injured party who owned a pickup truck and was involved in an accident in Phuket. Initially, before a lawyer became involved in the case, the insurance company offered the injured party only 7,500 baht in compensation for loss of use of the vehicle.
After the injured party felt that the amount might not correspond to the actual damages suffered, they searched for information online and found an educational video by Lawyer Arm on YouTube. They then contacted Wongsakorn Law Firm to seek legal advice and have the firm handle the claim for damages.
After the matter was handled and the details of the case were considered, the injured party received damages amounting to hundreds of thousands of baht, compared with the initial offer of 7,500 baht from the insurance company. This case therefore demonstrates that the initial amount offered by an insurance company should not necessarily be a figure that an injured party should immediately accept without first examining the facts and their own legal rights.
Why Is Evidence Needed When Claiming Compensation for Loss of Use of a Vehicle?
Claiming compensation for loss of use of a vehicle requires consideration of relevant evidence, such as vehicle repair documents, the period during which the vehicle was at the repair shop, evidence regarding the use of the vehicle, as well as other documents or information that can demonstrate the actual damages suffered.
Therefore, injured parties should not simply think, “Whatever amount the insurance company offers, I will accept.” Instead, they should first check whether the offer covers the actual damages suffered and whether there are any additional documents or facts that can be used to support a further claim.
In some cases, negotiating without systematically preparing the necessary information may prevent the injured party from fully presenting the relevant facts. Therefore, gathering evidence from the beginning is important.
Should an Injured Party Accept Payment from the Insurance Company Immediately?
The answer is not the same in every case, as the relevant documents and conditions must be considered on a case by case basis. Most importantly, injured parties should carefully read and clearly understand the details of the offer and any documents they are about to sign, especially any wording that may relate to the settlement of the claim or the waiver of other rights.
If they do not understand the contents, injured parties can request time to review the documents or consult a legal expert before making a decision. This is because signing certain types of documents may affect their ability to make further claims later.
Lawyer Arm Supasit therefore reminds consumers not to make a decision based solely on the amount offered by the insurance company. Instead, they should consider what criteria and facts the amount is based on and whether the actual damages suffered involve additional details beyond that amount.
Insurance Companies Have Lawyers from the Beginning, and Injured Parties Can Have Lawyers as Well
When an accident occurs, many injured parties may feel that an insurance company is a large organization with staff and experts handling the matter, while they themselves do not know where to begin.
From Lawyer Arm’s perspective, having knowledge of your own rights is therefore important, especially regarding compensation for loss of use of a vehicle. Injured parties should know what they can claim, what evidence they need to prepare, and how they should negotiate in a manner consistent with the facts.
For cases where they wish to file a complaint or seek assistance from a relevant agency, injured parties should understand the role and procedures of that agency, as well as consider whether their case requires additional legal advice.
Do Not Underestimate an Accident, as the Damages May Be Greater Than Expected
Accidents are something no one can predict, whether you are the person who caused the collision or the person whose vehicle was hit by another vehicle. When an accident occurs, what should be done is to gather complete information and evidence, from photographs of the accident scene and documents from the insurance company to vehicle repair documents and evidence of expenses and damages incurred.
The example involving an initial offer of 7,500 baht followed by compensation amounting to hundreds of thousands of baht should not be viewed as a standard indicating that every case will receive the same amount. Rather, it is an example that reflects the importance of carefully assessing one’s rights and damages. The initial amount offered by an insurance company may need to be examined against the facts of each individual case.
If you have been involved in an accident and have questions about compensation for loss of use of a vehicle, or are unsure whether the offer from the insurance company is appropriate in relation to the damages suffered, you should study the relevant information and consult a lawyer before deciding how to proceed, so that you can carefully understand your rights and the appropriate course of action.
