Did you get Compensation?
Compensation amounts vary from claim to claim depending on many different factors, even for similar injuries. That’s because injuries affect people in different ways and each person’s individual circumstances are taken into account when awarding compensation. This becomes evident if you view the examples shown on this site. Common compensation claims include whiplash, road accident and medical negligence claims with compensation, in the main, being sort for pain and suffering, permanent disability, medical expenses, loss of earnings, loss of or damage to property, loss of interest and legal expenses.

Most compensation claims are made for accidents resulting from negligence. Certain people, such as drivers, Governments and councils have responsibilities and standards to which they must abide. If they don’t take reasonable care when they should have done and you are injured as a result then you may have a case for compensation.

                   Through the 4th EU Motor Directive 2003, it has become possible for many people to claim    

                                                                     compensation through the their home EU country courts.

This is a statement of fact which numerous UK and other European lawyers advertise and promote. They proclaim it is, of course, easier to be in contact with "home grown lawyers" on such an issue. What is not mentioned are the extra costs, longer settlement periods, difficulty with local knowledge and legal procedures and communication complications. GACC are often involved in such cases and can safely say that, despite the 2003 Directive which has benefits, direct contact with a local Greek lawyer permits quicker and more effective settlements. In addition all lawyers suggested by GACC and our administrative staff are able to communicate clearly and concisely in English, French and Greek. GACC also offers translation services in numerous other languages. Compensation claims are complex and legal systems and structures within Greece vary considerably with those of other EU member countries. It is therefore critical to have direct access to lawyers here in Greece who understand these systems, have worked within them and the structures and are able to extract compensation from insurers and government bodies far more effectively than lawyers from another member EU country.
