Legal objectivity:
Article 10 of the Supreme People's Court's Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning Determining the Liability for Compensation for Spiritual Damage in Civil Torts does not stipulate the calculation method and compensation limit of compensation for mental damage, and local courts have encountered some troubles in how to determine the specific amount of compensation in the examination and approval practice. In view of this situation, courts in Anhui, Shandong, Fujian and other places have formulated specific provisions for the calculation of mental damage compensation according to the level of economic development and judicial practice in the region, but some provinces and cities still have no clear and specific calculation methods and compensation limits. 1. "Guiding Opinions of the Higher People's Court of Anhui Province on Several Issues Concerning the Trial of Personal Injury Cases" Article 25 (1) If a citizen's physical rights and health rights are slightly injured, the right holder requests compensation for mental comfort, which will not be supported; (two) the general damage to the right to health of citizens does not constitute a disability level, and the amount of spiritual comfort is generally 1000 yuan to 5000 yuan; (3) If the damage to a citizen's physical rights and health rights has constituted a disability level, the amount of mental comfort can be determined in combination with the victim's disability level, which is generally not less than 5,000 yuan but not more than 80,000 yuan. (four) causing the death of citizens, the amount of spiritual comfort is generally not less than 50000 yuan, but the maximum is not more than 80000 yuan; If there are other special infringement cases in the case, the amount of spiritual consolation money may not be determined according to the above criteria. If the victim himself is at fault, the amount of spiritual consolation money shall be reduced according to the degree of his fault. 2.85. Opinions of Shandong Higher People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Trial of Personal Injury Compensation Cases in Shandong Province. The physical personality rights of natural persons, such as life, health and body rights, and the spiritual personality rights of natural persons, such as reputation, name, portrait, honor, personal dignity, personal freedom and privacy, have been illegally violated. If the victim's spiritual interests are damaged, the specific compensation standard is as follows: (1) The general compensation standard for mental damage is 1000-3000 yuan if the infringer is a natural person; If the mental damage is serious, the compensation standard is 3000-5000 yuan; (2) If the infringer is a legal person or other social organization, the compensation shall generally be five to ten times that of the citizen compensation standard. If the infringer's infringement is particularly bad, the victim's injury is particularly serious or the social impact is particularly great, the above compensation standard can be appropriately raised according to actual needs, but it must be reported to the provincial court for review before the judgment. Three. Opinions of Fujian Higher People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Trial of Personal Injury Compensation Cases, 25 pages. According to the degree of subjective fault of the infringer, the means of infringement and the consequences caused by the infringement, the infringement is divided into general infringement, serious infringement and particularly serious infringement. Compensation for mental damage caused by general tort, at the discretion of 1000 yuan-10000 yuan; Compensation for mental damage caused by serious infringement shall be judged at the discretion of 10000 yuan to 50000 yuan; The amount of compensation for mental damage caused by particularly serious infringement is between 50,000 yuan and 65,438 yuan+1 million yuan. Four. 28 Jiangsu Provincial Higher People's Court and Public Security Department's Guiding Opinions on Handling Cases of Traffic Accident Damage Compensation.

When determining the compensation for mental damage, it generally does not exceed 50,000 yuan. V. Notice of Beijing Municipality on Printing and Distributing Opinions on Several Issues Concerning the Trial of Personal Injury Compensation Cases 25. If the tort causes physical disability and the victim requests compensation for mental damage, he can give a certain amount of money to comfort the victim according to his physical and mental pain, and the amount of payment can be determined according to the degree of disability and the fault of the infringer. If the victim is disabled due to infringement, the amount of compensation is generally not more than 5 times of the average wage income of urban workers in our city last year. If the victim's body is generally injured, resulting in serious consequences, and it is really necessary to pay compensation for mental damage, the amount shall be reduced according to the circumstances that caused the disability. 26. If a close relative of the deceased asks for death compensation on the grounds that the victim's death caused him mental pain, it should be supported. The amount of compensation can be determined according to the nature of the harmful behavior, the degree of fault of the harmer, the degree of pain suffered by the claimant and the relationship with the deceased, but generally it shall not exceed 10 times of the average wage of urban workers in our city last year. The close relatives of the deceased are limited to the spouse, parents and children of the deceased. If the spouse, parents and children of the deceased are absent, other close relatives who have formed the relationship of maintenance, support and maintenance have the right to claim death compensation. 27. If the victim is also at fault for the occurrence of the damage accident, the liability for compensation, including economic liability and mental damage liability, shall be reduced as appropriate according to the proportion of his fault. Opinions of Sichuan Higher People's Court on Implementing the Supreme People's Court's Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning Determining the Liability for Compensation for Spiritual Damage in Civil Tort. Specific criteria for determining the amount of compensation for mental damage The amount of compensation for mental damage should be determined according to the characteristics of consolation money and compensatory compensation for mental damage and the current economic development situation of our province. At the same time, because of the difference between material personality right and spiritual personality right, we should also distinguish material personality right and spiritual personality right when determining the amount standard of mental damage compensation. If death is caused by tort, compensation for mental damage shall be death compensation. Death compensation is calculated according to the average living expenses of the court of appeal for 20 years; For victims over 70 years old, one year will be lost for each additional year, but the compensation period should be at least 10 year. The seat of the court of appeal refers to the county (district, city) where the basic people's court accepts the case. The average living standard should be based on the average living standard of urban residents published by the relevant government departments in the previous year, regardless of urban and rural areas. 2. If the tort causes disability, the compensation for mental damage shall be disability compensation. The upper limit of disability compensation is 100000 yuan. The calculation formula of the specific compensation amount is: disability compensation = 100000 yuan × disability grade coefficient × responsibility coefficient. When calculating disability compensation, the number of years should not be considered. Disability grade coefficient, 1 grade disability is1; Secondary disability is 0.9; By analogy, 10 disability is 0. 1. The responsibility coefficient is determined according to the fault responsibility of the parties. If the responsible person takes full responsibility, the responsibility coefficient is1; Take half the responsibility, and the responsibility coefficient is 0.5. If the means, circumstances and methods of infringement are particularly bad, the amount of disability compensation may be appropriately higher than the amount calculated by the above formula. Living allowance for the disabled and disability compensation are two different legal concepts. If the infringer causes serious mental damage to the victim due to the infringement, he shall not only bear the disability compensation, but also pay the living allowance for the disabled according to law. 3. Infringement of other people's personal interests such as name, portrait, reputation, honor, personal dignity, personal freedom, guardianship, privacy, etc., in principle, the amount of compensation for mental damage should be within the range of 500 yuan to 50,000 yuan. In view of the differences in economic development in different parts of our province, local courts can determine the specific standards of compensation for mental damages for infringement of spiritual personality rights within the above scope, and judges can comprehensively determine the amount of compensation for mental damages that infringers should bear according to the six factors stipulated in Article 10 of the Interpretation. 4. If a specific commemorative item with symbolic personality is permanently damaged or lost due to infringement, the standard for determining the amount of compensation for mental damage shall apply to the provisions of the preceding article. 5. If the infringer infringes on the spiritual personality right of others for the purpose of obtaining economic benefits, the amount of compensation for mental damage is not limited by the above-mentioned maximum amount of 50,000 yuan, and the specific amount of compensation is determined according to the infringer's profit. 6. If the same tort infringes on the personality rights of two or more natural persons respectively, the infringer shall pay mental damages to the victims respectively according to the compensation standards determined in this opinion. 7. No matter how many defendants there are in the infringement case, the amount of compensation for mental damage that should be borne by multiple defendants * * * cannot exceed the above-mentioned maximum limit. 8. If the tort causes the death of the victim or infringes on the name, portrait, reputation, honor, body and privacy of the deceased, no matter how many people claim compensation for mental damage, the amount of compensation for mental damage that the defendant should bear cannot exceed the above maximum limit. Seven. 1. Summary of the Judicial Work Meeting of Shaanxi Judicial Committee. If a person dies, the amount of mental compensation is generally not less than 1000 yuan, and the maximum amount cannot exceed 20,000 yuan; Two, resulting in disability, the amount of mental compensation is generally not less than 1000 yuan, the highest can not exceed 20000 yuan; Three, because of civil tort caused mental damage, resulting in serious consequences, mental consolation money is divided into four levels: level 1 15000 to 20000 yuan, level 2 10000 to 15000 yuan, level 3 5000 to 10000 yuan, level 4. If it is still not enough to comfort the parties within the above-mentioned maximum limit, the amount of compensation can be decided within the range of 20 thousand yuan to 50 thousand yuan after discussion and decision by the judicial Committee of the hospital.
