Thai law provides that claim for compensation as a result of personal injury may be filed in Thai courts. In accordance to Section 420 of Thai Civil and Commercial Code, “A person who, willfully or negligently, unlawfully injures the life, body, health, liberty, property, or any right of another person, commits a wrongful act and is obligated to compensate for the harm caused.” The term “Personal Injury Claim” covers a wide range of injuries and accidents. A personal injury can be physical (such as bodily injury, loss or damage of property) or psychological (such as mind, liberty).
泰國法律規定，因人身傷害而提出的賠償要求可以向泰國法院提出。根據《泰國民商法》第 420 條，“任何人故意或過失地非法損害他人的生命、身體、健康、自由、財產或任何權利，即屬不法行為，有義務賠償損失”。 “人身傷害索賠”一詞涵蓋廣泛的傷害和事故。人身傷害可以是身體上的（例如身體傷害、財產損失或損壞）或心理上的（例如精神、自由）。
Claims for compensation arising from a personal injury case in Thailand can be filed in Thai Courts within one year from the date the offended party discovers the wrongful act, and the person responsible for the injury, or within ten years from the date the wrongful act was committed, otherwise, shall be forever barred. However, when the wrongful act committed is punishable under criminal law of Thailand and it provides for a longer prescriptive period, such longer prescription shall apply.
在泰國發生的人身傷害案件引起的賠償索賠可以在受害方發現不當行為和傷害負責人之日起一年內或從不當行為發生之日起十年內向泰國法院提出，否則，將永遠被禁止。但是，如果所實施的不法行為根據泰國刑法應受懲罰，並且規定較長的時效期限，則適用此較長的時效期限。
The most common claim in personal injury case is negligence and the statute of limitation for negligence case is one year. This means that personal injury claim must be filed with the competent court within one year after you first became aware (i) that you have suffered an injury and (ii) that you know who should be held liable to pay for compensation. Certain exceptions apply, most notably where claims also fall under the ambit of Thai criminal law, where the time limit is prescribed by the applicable (criminal) law, assuming the period of prescription is longer, if it is not clear who is responsible to provide compensation.
人身傷害案件中最常見的索賠是過失，過失案件的訴訟時效為一年。這表示人身傷害索賠必須在您首次意識到 (i) 您受到傷害以及 (ii) 您知道誰應該承擔賠償責任後一年內向管轄法院提出。某些例外情況適用，尤其是在索賠也屬於泰國刑法範圍的情況下，其時限是由適用(刑法)法律規定，假設時效期限較長，如果不清楚誰負責提供賠償
Compensation amounts awarded vary from claim to claim, depending on various factors, such as supporting documents, witnesses present, even for similar injuries. According to Section 438 of Thai Civil and Commercial Code, “The Court shall determine the manner and the extent of the compensation according to the circumstances and the gravity of the wrongful act. Compensation may include restitution of the property of which the injured person has been wrongfully deprived of its value as well as damages for any injury caused.” If, at the time of judgement, the court feels it cannot precisely establish the actual consequences of the injury, it may reserve the right to revise its decision for a period of no more than two years. Thai courts generally restrict the award of damages to actual losses and do not usually award damages for such 'intangibles' as pain and suffering, disfigurement, emotional shock etc. If such damages are awarded, they are not likely to be substantial.
每個索賠的賠償金額各不相同，取決於各種因素，例如證明文件、證人在場，甚至是類似的傷害。根據《泰國民商法》第438條，“法院應根據情況和不法行為的嚴重程度來決定賠償的方式和程度。賠償可能包括歸還受傷者被不正當剝奪其價值的財產以及造成任何傷害的損害賠償。” 如果法院在判決時認為無法準確確定傷害的實際後果，可以保留修改其決定的權利，期限不超過兩年。泰國法院通常將損害賠償金限制為實際損失，並且通常不會對諸如痛苦和磨難、毀容、情緒衝擊等“無形資產”的損害賠償金進行裁決。它們不太可能是實質的。
In the case the bodily injury caused by negligence or accident, the following compensation may be claimed:
如因疏忽或意外事故造成人身傷害，可要求下列賠償：
Hospitalization Cost: such as, medical expense, transportation, etc;
住院費用：如醫療費、交通費等；
Loss of Income;
收入損失；
Loss of Working Opportunity;
失去工作機會；
Others: such as, loss due to physical disability, etc.
其他：如因身體殘疾造成的損失等。
Claims can be filed with the court on behalf of an applicant by way of a power of attorney, but applicants are usually required to physically appear in the Thai court to provide testimony.
申請人可以透過授權書的方式代表向法院提出索賠，但申請人通常需要親自到泰國法院提供證詞。
The Thai court has the power to consider fixing the compensation amount based on significant circumstances and seriousness of the injury.
泰國法院有權根據重大情況和傷害嚴重程度考慮確定賠償金額。
