The victim may also claim civil compensation from the other party. The compensation items include medical expenses, lost time, food subsidies for hospitalization, nutrition expenses, transportation expenses, disability compensation identified as disability, living expenses of dependents, etc.
The difference between self-defense and fighting is as follows:
The difference between fighting and self-defense is that fighting is illegal and self-defense is legal.
According to China's relevant laws and regulations: in order to protect national interests, public interests, personal, property and other rights of oneself or others from ongoing illegal infringement, stopping illegal infringement and causing damage to the illegal infringer, it belongs to self-defense and does not bear criminal responsibility.
If justifiable defense obviously exceeds the necessary limit and causes great damage, criminal responsibility shall be borne, but the punishment shall be mitigated or exempted.
Taking defensive actions against violent crimes such as assault, murder, robbery, rape, kidnapping, etc., which seriously endanger personal safety, and causing casualties to illegal infringers, is not excessive defense and does not bear criminal responsibility.
