An unexpected event can completely alter your life. Eva was en route to visit her daughter in London when she entered a crossing and was struck by a car. A prolonged treatment ensued, and despite Eva's courage, numerous health complications are likely to persist for the remainder of her life. How can lawyers assist in such circumstances?
Eva reached out to us through an organization that was temporarily aiding her in managing her challenging living situation. At the time, she had no income, relying solely on subsistence payments. We assisted her because we specialize in personal injury and have established connections with reputable colleagues abroad.
We engaged the services of the UK law firm Stewarts to assist us in this case. Attorneys Klára Dvořáková and Rebecca Huxford aided Eva in documenting her case, elucidating her options, and explaining the disparities between the Czech and British healthcare and social benefits reimbursement systems.
Within a few months, thanks to the seamless cooperation between the two law firms, an offer of compensation from the insurance company, totaling approximately seven million Czech crowns, was secured. The client accepted this settlement to avoid dealing with courts in the UK.
Subsequently, we assisted the client with related tax issues and enlisted the services of the tax consultancy firm Auditone, which facilitated the filing of a tax return. Compensation for loss of earnings is taxable, unlike most personal injury compensation.
"No one has done as much for me as you," Eva expressed.
The fact that we were able to aid Eva lends meaning to our work and brings us immense joy. We are delighted that, owing to our many years of active involvement in the international professional organization PEOPIL, we can collaborate on such cases.

"I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the law firm Holubová advokáti s.r.o. for their professional yet genuinely compassionate approach in an exceptionally difficult period of my life.
The firm successfully represented me in a dispute with my health insurance company concerning reimbursement for a medication that enables me to actively fight an oncological illness and has already begun to show positive treatment results.
From the very outset, I felt a high level of expertise, thoroughness, and a genuine interest not only in the case itself but also in the person behind it. All legal steps were explained clearly and comprehensibly, and the communication was factual, calm, and supported by clear arguments. In a time of great uncertainty, this provided me with a much-needed sense of reassurance and trust.
My special and greatest thanks go to JUDr. Klára Dvořáková, whose commitment, precision, and empathy meant more to me than can be conveyed in just a few sentences. Her work was not only highly professional but also marked by human sensitivity and deep respect for the seriousness of the situation.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this law firm to anyone seeking top-tier legal assistance combined with a truly human approach."

"We express our recommendations for the law firm Holubova Advokati.
Holubova Advokati was able to resolve a project for us with confidence, composure, and perseverance that German experts had deemed hopeless.
About 80 years ago, my grandparents and my father had to leave their home. The property has now been returned to our family through the inheritance that was initiated, and thanks to the excellent work of the law firm.
During the two-and-a-half-year negotiations, there were no language problems; everyone was always well informed about the current status.
Keep up the good work, everyone."
