What are the advantages of hiring a lawyer in traffic accidents?
(1) Hiring a professional lawyer to represent the lawsuit will not generate a lot of attorney fees, saving time and worry. The injured party in a traffic accident personal injury compensation case may claim to bear the lawyer's fee. The general court will support reasonable legal fees or even all legal fees. To entrust a lawyer to sue, you only need to sign a power of attorney, sign a contract to hire a lawyer and get paid, and prepare relevant materials under the guidance of a lawyer. Professional traffic accident lawyers can help you complete the litigation process quickly and professionally. Victims can rest at home and their families can accompany them carefully until the case is over and they can get compensation smoothly.
(2) There are many compensation items involved in traffic accidents, and the calculation is complicated. It involves medical expenses, appraisal fees, disability compensation, death compensation, dependents' living expenses, nutrition fees, lost time, transportation fees, mental damage compensation and more than a dozen other compensation items. Each item needs relevant evidence to support it. These evidence materials have strict format and content requirements, and only the evidence obtained under the guidance of professional lawyers can be adopted by the court to the maximum extent. After years of professional study, passing the national judicial examination, and one or more years of internship, professional lawyers can formally practice, and after practicing, they have accumulated a lot of rich experience in litigation cases, which is incomparable for victims to consult several lawyers and read relevant laws and regulations for a few days. After many victims sue by themselves, due to insufficient evidence, the compensation items can not be supported by the court, and the compensation amount will be much less. Even if they regret it, they will no longer handle the lawsuit.
(3) In traffic accident personal injury compensation cases, there are many and complicated parties besides the driver and the owner, and there are also insurance companies. Once one party is sued less, it may be considered as giving up the right to claim compensation from the obligor and losing the guarantee of compensation. Moreover, drivers, car owners and insurance companies all have special lawyers. Without the help of a professional lawyer, the opposing lawyer will seize some loopholes in evidence and even make misleading statements against you during the court trial, and the compensation for the case is likely to be greatly reduced. The case can only be prosecuted once, which is a one-time transaction. Without a lawyer, you can't guarantee enough compensation, and it's too late to regret it.
(4) In China, people who live the same life but have different prices have been criticized. There is a huge salary gap between rural hukou and urban hukou. In some cases, people with rural hukou can be compensated according to urban hukou, but all kinds of evidence are needed. Any evidence missing or slightly different in content will not be compensated by the city standard. Under the guidance of professional lawyers, the parties can collect more complete evidence materials and fully safeguard their rights and interests.
(5) The appraisal of disability level, the preservation of litigation property, the execution of advance compensation and the execution of litigation procedures all require lawyers' professional litigation experience and skills. If they are not handled properly, they may cause you huge losses.
What are the identification standards and punishment rules for hit-and-run traffic accidents
Hit-and-run refers to the illegal behavior that the parties know it is a hit-and-run and do not report it to the public security organ in order to avoid the responsibility of the accident after the traffic accident. There are two situations: one is that people flee from the scene of the accident with their cars after the accident, and the other is to abandon their cars and escape, that is, the parties leave their cars at the scene and people flee from the scene of the accident. Escaping after a traffic accident is a very bad and serious illegal act, and the parties concerned have to bear the serious consequences that are unfavorable to them. The main condition of hit-and-run is that (1) the actor knows that he caused the traffic accident, that is, the actor must know that his behavior caused the traffic accident when he escaped, which is the subjective cognitive factor of the actor. (2) Subjectively, it is to avoid accident responsibility and legal investigation; In practice, most of the purpose of the perpetrators' escape is to "escape from legal investigation", but a few people escape for other purposes, such as fear of being beaten by relatives and friends of the victims and other onlookers. These people often accept legal treatment by reporting to the leaders or calling the police soon after fleeing the scene. (3) Objectively implemented the behavior of fleeing from the scene of the accident and not reporting to the public security organ.
