Frequently asked questions
Orientation only—not legal advice
How are traffic accident damages calculated?
Typically by statutory items (medical, lost income, disability, etc.) with local standards. Evidence quality drives outcomes.
Is workplace injury the same as personal injury litigation?
Work-injury insurance pathways often run first or in parallel; civil claims may still arise depending on fault and parties.
Can foreigners claim for injuries in China?
Often yes, subject to procedure and evidence. Consular and insurance coordination may help practically.
When do we need a personal injury lawyer?
Serious injury, disputed fault, or uncooperative insurers. Use the personal injury directory.
