Peng Xuefeng, vice president of the Beijing Lawyers Association, said that lawyers are a high-risk profession and there is personal safety in the process of practice. risk. "If a Beijing lawyer takes a civil airliner as a passenger and is killed or disabled in an accident, the maximum insured amount is 400,000 yuan, which is higher than the general group insurance." said Wang Xiaobing, deputy general manager of Ping An Insurance Company Beijing Branch. It is understood that in 2005, four Beijing lawyers were killed in car accidents while on business trips. This was something the Beijing Lawyers Association had never encountered before.

In fact, the average annual income of lawyers in Beijing is only 70,000 yuan, the same as that of taxi drivers in Beijing.

Peng Xuefeng revealed that the case of a lawyer absconding with money last year was inconclusive, so the lawyer's professional liability insurance did not pay a claim. Reprint
