Traffic Accidents ・ Personal Injury

Damage caused by traffic accidents and falls If you have suffered damages as a result of a car accident or a fall, you may be entitled to claim compensation not only for actual expenses such as medical bills and loss of income due to absence from work, but also for emotional distress that you cannot see. In most cases, the case ends with a settlement payment from the insurance company. However, for most people, it is very difficult to negotiate favorably with the insurance company representatives who handle claims on a daily basis. Statistics show that even if you pay an attorney, you will often end up receiving more settlement money than if you negotiate on your own, so it is very common for people who have been injured in an accident to seek out an attorney with a wealth of expertise and extensive experience to resolve their case.

We can also handle injuries caused by other people's pets, falls caused by structural defects or inadequate safety controls in buildings, and injuries caused by personal injury cases.
Depending on the symptoms, we can refer you to a medical institution where Japanese is spoken. Please feel free to contact us.

General Business Law ・ Contract Law ・ Outside Counsel ・ Trouble Resolution
When doing business in the U.S. or renewing a contract, it is essential to have a professional draft the contract. For example, it is a major business risk to sign a contract with a Japanese person without thoroughly reviewing it because you trust him or her or because you know him or her. It is only natural that the contracting party's attorney will draft the contract in a way that is more favorable to his or her client. To avoid problems after the contract is signed, seek legal advice from an expert and draft the contract with all possible risks in mind.
