Lawyers protect the legitimate interests of clients, and it is natural for clients to bear the expenses. But this is not the case with traffic accidents. Imagine that a victim of a traffic accident is lying in a hospital, and the perpetrator is unwilling to pay any compensation. It is inconvenient for the victim to sue himself, and the victim's family members are not familiar with the relevant laws and regulations, so they have to hire a lawyer to represent them in court. In particular, many victims come from rural areas, and legal fees are not a small expense for victims. In this case, if the lawyer's fees of traffic accident victims are also borne by the victims themselves, it will obviously increase the burden on the victims. Therefore, in order to protect the interests of victims, the court supports the request of traffic accident victims to ask the defendant to bear the legal costs, as long as it is within the prescribed scope.
