Atom Law Group (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Takeshi Okano), which supports victims of traffic accidents, conducted a survey on the actual situation of traffic accidents based on its own questionnaire.

The survey results showed that while 75% cited "lawyers" as the "most trusted consultation source," only 14% actually consulted a lawyer after an accident. This indicates a current situation where many people recognize the option of consulting an expert but do not take actual action.

On the other hand, when asked about the best aspects of entrusting a lawyer, 37% responded that "consolation money was increased," and 28% responded that they "felt mentally relieved," confirming the positive outcomes of expert intervention.
