Looking for a solid, independent lawyer in Chiang Mai.

3 days ago at 5 AM, a friend (Thai citizen) was hit by a Thai-Chinese rider who pulled out of a side road without looking. Both were on motorbikes. She was knocked unconscious for 6 hours, suffered a brain bleed, internal injuries, and slurred speech. She spent 3 days in a semi-private hospital.

Today, right after being discharged, she went to the police station. She was made to wait 5 to 6 hours for the at-fault rider to arrive. The police appeared to know the rider personally.

The police pushed through a settlement where the at-fault rider paid 50,000 THB. The police also extracted a 5,000 THB fee from the 50k just for contacting him. The remaining money does not even cover the outstanding hospital balance or the bike repairs, let alone future medical complications.

We need an aggressive civil litigator with zero ties to the local police to step in. The objective is to get the settlement voided due to medical incapacity (she signed while suffering acute head trauma) and pursue actual damages.

Please drop the name of the lawyer, the law firm, or their public contact info in the comments below or PM/DM
