為何要在人身傷害訴訟中聘請律師？

任何人均有機會在生活中遇上意外。若果你在意外中遭受人身傷害，你可以採取法律行動，以訴訟方式就所受傷害向失誤一方索償。

人身傷害訴訟與其他訴訟無異：申索一方須負舉證責任，向法庭證明被告的失誤造成人身傷害。法庭在考慮雙方提出的證據及論點後，便會作出裁決。每宗案件的賠償金額視乎案件的案情而定，所得賠償有時會與投放在準備案件和聆訊中的時間和訟費不成比例。如申索方被判敗訴，更有可能被法庭命令支付勝訴一方的訟費，包括勝訴一方聘請代表律師及大律師的開支。

有見及此，儘管每宗人身傷害個案的性質不同，我們仍建議所有申索人諮詢律師意見，以在決定繼續申索前獲得充足資料。受聘用的律師會先細閱你的個案，並參考過往案例，以就你的個案有否法律根據，及你可能獲得的賠償金額提供法律意見。如果你選擇繼續向失誤一方索償，律師亦可以代表你進行所有所需法律程序，例如準備法律文件及與代表大律師溝通及研討案情。

Why people prefer engaging lawyers for handling Personal Injury Cases?

Anyone can encounter accidents in any stages of life. When you suffer personal injuries during an accident, you can institute legal action for it to obtain compensation from the wrongdoer as the victim.

Personal injury litigation is no different from any other form of litigation – the claimant bears the responsibility to prove his case to the court. After considering the evidence and arguments presented by both parties, the court will then make a decision. The amount of compensation awarded varies depending on the circumstances of individual cases. Sometimes, the compensation may not be proportionate to the time and costs spent on the preparation and hearing of the matter. If the claimant loses, he may also be ordered to pay the costs of the winning party, including their expenses for the solicitors and barristers representing them.

Considering the above, though the nature of every personal injury case varies, all claimants are strongly encouraged to engage lawyers to make an informed decision whether to proceed with their claims. Experienced solicitors will first assess your case, and advise whether your intended claims have any merit and the potential range of compensation with reference to case authorities. If you decide to continue with the claims, solicitors will handle all the legal procedures on behalf of you, namely the preparation of legal documents and communication with counsel.
