What Are Liability Laws In Thailand After An Accident

[yourauntbob]

On my way to work on Friday I was rear ended by a pickup truck. The force of the crash pushed my car into the car in front of me and my trunk is basically in my backseat. The (Thai) driver took full responsibility for the accident and both of our insurance companies came to take pictures etc. After all the paperwork etc was finished I went to the hospital to get a checkup. The doc says there was no broken bones but I do have a minor case of whiplash. I used my own accident insurance for the original prognosis but am wondering were the law is if I have further problems.

Additional info: my car was 100% legal (fees, taxes etc); I have a work permit, drivers license, insurance etc.

I am going to meet with his insurance company now and was wondering what actual laws in a case like this might be (links to government websites would be great).

Thanks to all in advance

I thought you had to leave it to your insurance company to do the negotiating.

Leave it to your insurance company.

Just make sure you have the whiplash diagnosis from your hospital and show your insurance guy.

Then at least it's on file that the impact was serious enough for injury.

And yep, do not do any negotiating with the other guy's insurance, leave it to your insurance reps to do this...
