Accidents
do happen , at work or at home, in the street and at any time.
Whereas most accidents would not affect most people's lives,
sometimes they can have profound effects and in circumstances
where others are to blame the pursuit of legal action is sometimes
necessary.
Hong Kong has a well developed legal structure
for those who are injured in accidents .Under the Employees
Compensation Ordinance all employees must by law be insured
by their employers. It is an offence for an employer not
to do so. Under this Ordinance there is a mechanism whereby
the court can order can make an award of substantial compensation
irrespective of blame to an injured person who was injured
at work or in the course of executing work- related duties.
Further, anyone injured in circumstances
where another party was either wholly or partly to blame
can seek legal compensation under the common law through
the courts in Hong Kong.
If you think you have a claim or you have
suffered an injury please fill out the enclosed questionnaire
below which will let one of our panel of solicitors
assess, free of charge, whether you have a prima facie claim.
Legal Aid is normally available
for meritorious legal suits of this nature, provided you
come within the requisite financial limits set by the Legal
Aid department.
