Man gets in to road rage incident, gets knocked off his bike. All medical bills are covered in full, bike repair bills covered in full, some additional compensation has also been mooted by the insurance company. No charges are pressed because he's not interested and can't be bothered, but he does like to have a good old victim whinge. Hold the front page! You forgot the part the OP refuses to clarify; he hit the car first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand has never been colonised and part of the reason is the Thais stick together. I dont think it is a bad thing and has resulted in this country that we love so much we have decided to live here. You have to take the good with the bad, and the good outweighs the bad by a mile. if it didnt we wouldnt be here. WTF?!? Are you for real??? Your ignorant, nonsensical, off-topic, non-answer is gross and your Thai ass-kissing ASTOUNDING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldscool Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) Britman, If he signed an admission of liability in a police station, then you have a watertight case. And contrary to advice given below, lawyers frequently work on a contingency basis here - 10% is a common figure. The fact that your medical costs have been covered is irrelevant, you are entitled to damages over and above that. Whether 10% of those damages is likely to be a sufficient carrot is another matter. The perpetual cry on this forum that foreigners can't get justice in Thailand is not true, but you definitely won't get justice if you don't go to court. Whether the public prosecutor takes up the case or not is not the point. But I do find it hard to believe that he would sign an admission of "attempted murder", are you sure something didn't get lost in translation? Sounds more like road rage. I've never come across this sort of case before here but a custodial sentence seems unlikely. Edited May 14 by oldscool 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine what would happen to one of us foreigners if we ran down a Thai because 'we were angry'? You may still need a lawyer. The confession is just one part of the case. A lot of what lawyers do is coordinate the case, file with the court etc. There is also the pain and suffering aspect the lawyer can argue for compensation.
