In personal injury cases, we work in coordination with trusted medical professionals and medical examiners to ensure that injuries are properly evaluated and documented during insurance medical examinations, always in line with the specific needs and circumstances of the client.

We also provide legal representation to individuals accused of causing damage, offering defence and assistance in liability claims arising from road traffic accidents and other civil liability matters.

Main areas of assistance and insurance coverage

The Italian insurance system provides several instruments to protect individuals and businesses from risks connected to potentially hazardous activities.
Liability insurance (assicurazione per la responsabilità civile) plays a central role and, in certain cases, is compulsory by law for companies operating in Italy.

The Italian insurance market offers different types of civil liability policies, each subject to specific contractual conditions and legislative provisions. Under the Italian Civil Code, compensation for damage includes both actual and future losses, as well as loss of profit.

Car accidents in Italy and compensation claims

Italian law provides specific rules governing compensation for damages arising from car accidents. Motor vehicles, including trailers, may circulate on public roads only if covered by compulsory liability insurance.
This insurance covers both damage to property and personal injury.

Our firm assists clients throughout the compensation process, from the initial claim to the final settlement. Where no agreement is reached, we represent clients in court proceedings to enforce their rights.
