In Germany, as in Japan, it is prohibited by law* for anyone other than a qualified lawyer to negotiate a settlement for a traffic accident, so that insurance companies and agents cannot negotiate with the other party on your behalf, regardless of liability.
(* From Rechtsdienstleistungsgesetz – RDG (Lawyers’ Remuneration Act) § 2, § 3)
If the other party´s car is from another country – which is not uncommon in continental Europe – or if the accident is caused by a third party, we cannot handle the accident directly. In such cases, consulting a lawyer or requesting settlement negotiations can help to ensure a smooth resolution of the accident.
