If the other side strikes first, I will strike back, causing minor injuries. Should I bear criminal responsibility?

When both parties cause harm to each other, both parties shall be responsible for the harm caused and decide whether to apply mediation or investigate the responsibility. If the other party did it first, the parties may defend themselves without compensation or bear less than half of it. If the other party does it first, it will take full responsibility. In other words, if others are seriously injured and the parties are not defending themselves properly, they will bear greater responsibility.

Legal analysis

Generally speaking, the party who starts first is more responsible for the fault. If one party beats the other party for no reason, then the beaten party can take proper defense and does not need to bear legal responsibility for the damage caused to the other party. In case of injury, you should report to the police in time, and ask the police station to issue a certificate of injury identification for injury identification after discharge. After judicial appraisal, if the injured person reaches the second degree of minor injury, he will be investigated for criminal responsibility for intentional injury according to relevant laws. Those who cause minor injuries shall bear criminal responsibility, and those who surrender may have their sentences reduced as appropriate. Breaking each other into fractures requires forensic identification. If it is a minor injury suspected of injury, it will be sentenced. If it does not constitute a crime, it shall be punished for public security and detained according to law. However, if the other party understands or gives up the prosecution, it may not be sentenced. If it is a minor injury, the maximum administrative detention is fifteen days. Either way, you need to pay for medical expenses and other expenses.
