1. 遭遇意外受傷就一定可以民事索償嗎？

這是常見的誤解。遭遇意外受傷的傷者，需要證明有人或公司疏忽或違反法定責任，才可以向對方及其保險公司索償。

以交通意外而言，常見可索償的情況如下：

在後車撞前車的交通意外，通常後車有錯，前車傷者可向後車司機及保險公司索償
在後車撞前車的交通意外，通常後車有錯，後車乘客可向後車司機及保險公司索償
在小路出大路的交通意外，通常由無視讓線而在小路衝出大路的司機有錯，兩車的傷者均可向後車司機及其保險公司索償

Legal Knowledge:

There are 2 types of lawyers in Hong Kong: Solicitors and Barristers. Generally speaking, solicitors provide a wider range of services, ranging from litigation to preparing various types of legal documents. Barristers tend to focus on Court appearances and in depth legal research.

It is worth to note that as a lay client, you cannot instruct a barrister directly, but you must do it through your solicitor.

Mr. Eric P H Chan, our principal solicitor, is one of not too many solicitors in Hong Kong who has experience conducting criminal trials as defence counsel and as a fiat prosecutor. In appropriate cases, you may be able to save legal expenses by instructing Mr. Chan as trial counsel without instructing a barrister.

In complex matters, you may wish to instruct a barrister to appear in Court or give legal advice. We have worked with various barristers of different seniorities, including Senior Counsel, to conduct trials and appeal cases.

Upon your instruction, we will help you consider your budget and the complexity of your case and form an appropriate legal team to defend your legal rights.
