Features: Perhaps by chance, you are unfortunately involved in an accident. If you are lucky, you may only suffer minor losses, and since you have insurance, you can file a claim with the insurance company (as long as it is not an excluded claim). However, if you are uninsured and suffer injuries, are hospitalized, or even have your relatives injured or pass away as a result, how should you find the liable party, determine which items are claimable, how much can be claimed, how to calculate the amount, how to collect evidence, and how to seek compensation through negotiation, mediation, or litigation? When you are inevitably drawn into a lawsuit, how can you best protect your legitimate rights and interests? Or if you are a judicial officer facing the requests of parties involved in a dispute and need to adjudicate according to the law, how can you fairly determine who is at fault? This book is specifically written to address the above issues. The authors are mostly master's or doctoral students in renowned law schools, and some are judges or lawyers with years of judicial practice, possessing extensive theoretical and practical experience in law.
