Q

A lawsuit claiming damages: is it possible even without an attorney?

Legal IntellectualViews55,413

I want to file a lawsuit claiming damages, but I have heard that it is difficult to prepare on my own. Not long ago, I was in a traffic accident, and I have been continuing to go to the hospital. I now have aftereffects, and the pain is so severe even when I simply sit still that I have even quit my job. I am in physical pain and unable to earn money, yet the settlement offer is so small that I am dumbfounded. I want to file a lawsuit claiming damages against the other party, but can I prepare it on my own without an attorney?

Answer to Related Inquiry

I see that you are preparing a lawsuit claiming damages. Under the Civil Act, a person who causes harm to another through a tort is required to compensate not only for physical and property damage but also for mental suffering.

Accordingly, you may claim from the other party, through a lawsuit claiming damages, not only the physical harm you have suffered but also lost-income damages and consolation money for mental suffering.

If you wish to prepare the lawsuit on your own, you must directly prove your damages on the basis of negligence, the perpetrator's unlawful act, and the causal connection to the accident.

However, if you cannot clearly prove the damage you have suffered or the perpetrator's negligence, it may become difficult to claim damages.

Therefore, it is important to gather objective evidence capable of proving the other party's negligence.

If you retain a damages attorney, you can respond quickly to the facts, the legal issues, and practical matters such as securing evidence, which makes prompt and accurate assistance possible.

If possible, therefore, I recommend that you retain a damages attorney who can provide legal advice and respond to the lawsuit accordingly.
