Grieving Mother Seeks Justice Over Fatal 2025 Traffic Accident
A mother in Buriram is seeking justice after her daughter, a nurse, died in a 2025 traffic accident, claiming no compensation has been provided by the driver involved.
On October 17, 2026, Khaosod Online reported that a mother, identified as 55-year-old Mrs. Somkid from Lahan Sai District, Buriram, is publicly seeking justice regarding the death of her daughter, 35-year-old Nirawan. Nirawan, a professional nurse and supporting actress, was involved in a collision while riding her motorcycle home from work on August 8, 2025. She passed away on August 15, 2025, after spending over a week in the hospital.
Mrs. Somkid alleges that more than a year has passed without any compensation from the driver involved in the collision. According to the mother, the driver only contributed 300 baht and some vegetables toward the funeral expenses, while the family incurred over 400,000 baht in funeral costs and inherited the daughter's outstanding debts. Furthermore, Mrs. Somkid expressed confusion and frustration after receiving a phone call from the police stating that the case had been closed, despite no formal negotiations regarding damages having taken place.
For residents and travelers, this case highlights the complexities of traffic accident litigation and the importance of understanding legal procedures following road incidents in Thailand. It remains to be confirmed why the police reportedly closed the case without a settlement, and whether the family will be able to pursue further legal action to secure compensation.
