Should I hire a lawyer in criminal incidental civil litigation?

Legal analysis: Whether the victim of criminal incidental civil action needs to hire a lawyer depends on his understanding of the law and the case. If he knows the law and is particularly familiar with the case, he may not entrust a lawyer to conduct the lawsuit. Of course, if he doesn't understand the case and the law, he'd better entrust a lawyer.

Legal basis: Article 101 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). If the victim suffers material losses due to the defendant's criminal behavior, he has the right to file an incidental civil action in the course of criminal proceedings. If the victim dies or loses his capacity for civil conduct, his legal representative and close relatives have the right to file an incidental civil action.
