Who needs damage compensation?

Those entitled to compensation include:
- Victims of crimes such as theft, robbery, fraud, violent acts and the destruction or damage of property.
- Participants of traffic accidents who incurred financial costs or moral suffering due to accidents.
- Employees or citizens who sustained injuries as a result of workplace accidents or accidents in public places.
- Entrepreneurs and companies harmed by economic crimes, breach of contracts, theft of intellectual property, unfair competition, or reputational losses.

Stages of providing legal assistance.
PRAGNUM lawyers build a structured and consistent legal process aimed at achieving maximum results for the client.
Initial consultation.
The first step is gathering complete information about the circumstances of the damage. At this stage, the lawyer:
- Carefully listens to the client and analyses documents and facts (contracts, reports, correspondence) confirming the damage.
- Assesses the legal prospects: grounds for a claim, potential defendants, existence of assets, feasibility of pre-trial claims or lawsuits.
- Determines the most effective protection strategy — pre-trial resolution or litigation.
- Explains rights, possible difficulties, timelines, and proposes an action plan (negotiation, mediation, claims, lawsuits, asset freezes).
- Consultations may be held in person or online.
Document preparation.
High-quality legal preparation is the foundation of effective protection. At this stage, we:
- Calculate direct losses and lost profits according to Ministry of Justice guidelines and audit standards.
- Draft lawsuits, complaints, motions, evidence preservation requests, and lawyer inquiries.
- Prepare evidence base, including:
- medical certificates, expert reports,
- witness testimonies, video surveillance records,
- audit or financial reports (in business disputes).
- Conduct pre-trial correspondence with defendants (sometimes compensation is achieved before court).
- In criminal cases — file civil claims within the criminal proceeding.
