Features: Perhaps by accident, you are unfortunately involved in an incident. If you are lucky, you may only suffer minor losses, and since you have insurance, you can still file a claim with the insurance company (as long as it is not an excluded coverage); but if you don’t have insurance and are injured, hospitalized, or even if your relatives are injured or die as a result, then how should you find the liable party, determine which items are claimable, how much can be claimed, how the amount is calculated, 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, needing to uphold the law and make a judgment, 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 deep theoretical and practical experience in law. We believe this book can provide a valuable reference for you in terms of the operational guide and effective claim paths.
