人身傷害

A serious injury can change your life in an instant. One moment you are going about your daily routine—working, driving, or simply walking down the street. The next, you are facing mounting medical bills, lost income, and a future filled with uncertainty. The physical pain is compounded by financial stress, and the emotional toll can be overwhelming.

At Jal N. Karbhari, Solicitors & Notary, we help accident victims and their families pursue the full compensation they deserve. Whether you have been injured in a workplace accident, a motor vehicle collision, a slip and fall, or any incident caused by someone else's negligence, we provide the legal expertise, investigative rigour, and relentless advocacy you need to rebuild your life.

We understand that no amount of money can undo the pain and suffering you have endured. But fair compensation can provide financial security, access to the best medical care, and peace of mind for you and your loved ones.

1. Workplace & Industrial Accidents

Hong Kong's workplace safety laws impose strict duties on employers to provide a safe working environment. When employers fail in their duties—and workers are injured as a result—victims are entitled to compensation. We handle claims arising from:

Construction site accidents

Falls from height, scaffolding collapses, and crane or equipment failures.

Factory & industrial accidents

Machinery accidents, exposure to hazardous substances, and repetitive strain injuries.

Occupational diseases

Conditions caused by workplace exposure, including silicosis, asbestos-related diseases, and hearing loss.

Office & commercial workplace injuries

Slips, trips, and falls, manual handling injuries, and stress-related conditions.

We pursue claims under both the Employees' Compensation Ordinance (statutory compensation) and the common law (damages for negligence). We handle the full process—from reporting the accident to the Labour Department, to filing employees' compensation claims, to pursuing common law damages where the employer's negligence is established.

2. Motor Vehicle & Public Liability Claims

Road traffic accidents and public liability incidents are among the most common causes of personal injury in Hong Kong. We advise on:

Motor Vehicle Claims

Car accidents – Driver, passenger, pedestrian, and cyclist claims.

Motorcycle and scooter accidents.

Public transport accidents – Bus, minibus, taxi, and MTR incidents.

Hit-and-run and uninsured driver claims.

We advise on the mandatory third-party insurance scheme, claims against the Motor Insurers' Bureau, and the complex process of establishing liability in multi-vehicle collisions.

Public Liability Claims

Slips, trips, and falls in public places, shopping malls, and commercial premises.

Injuries caused by defective or poorly maintained public spaces.

Injuries caused by falling objects, unsecured signage, or inadequate lighting.

Claims against government departments, property owners, and occupiers.

We identify all potentially liable parties, gather crucial evidence (CCTV footage, accident reports, witness statements), and pursue claims against the responsible parties and their insurers.

3. Negligence Claims

Negligence claims arise when someone fails to take reasonable care, causing injury to another person. We handle negligence claims in a wide range of contexts:

Occupiers' liability

Injuries caused by unsafe premises (both public and private).

Employers' liability

Injuries caused by unsafe workplace practices or conditions.

Product liability

Injuries caused by defective or dangerous products.

Medical negligence

Misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication errors, and substandard care.

Professional negligence

Claims against professionals who fail to meet required standards of care.

We have the forensic expertise to establish the legal duty of care, prove that the duty was breached, and demonstrate the causal link between the breach and your injuries. We work with medical experts, engineers, and other specialists to build a compelling case.

4. Pain, Suffering & Loss of Amenities (PSLA)

In Hong Kong, personal injury compensation comprises two main categories:

Non-Pecuniary Losses (General Damages)

Pain and suffering

Compensation for the physical pain caused by the injury.

Loss of amenities 

Compensation for the loss of enjoyment of life (e.g., inability to pursue hobbies, sports, or social activities).

Loss of expectation of life

Compensation where life expectancy has been reduced.

We work with medical experts to quantify the extent of your pain and suffering and ensure you receive fair compensation. We are familiar with the judicial guidelines and precedent-setting cases that determine PSLA awards in Hong Kong.

Pecuniary Losses (Special Damages)

Loss of earnings

Past and future lost income.

Medical expenses

Past and future treatment costs.

Rehabilitation costs

Physiotherapy, psychological counselling, and assistive devices.

Care and assistance costs

Help with daily activities during recovery.

Travel and transport costs

Related to medical appointments and treatment.

Other out-of-pocket expenses

Reasonable expenses incurred as a result of the injury.

We calculate your full losses meticulously and engage expert witnesses—including actuaries, accountants, and vocational experts—to quantify future economic losses.

5. Fatal Accident Claims

When a loved one dies as a result of someone else's negligence, the pain is immeasurable. In addition to the emotional toll, families often face significant financial hardship. We pursue claims under Hong Kong's fatal accident legislation:

Dependency claims

Compensation for dependents who relied on the deceased for financial support.

Loss of dependency

Lost earnings, pension contributions, and other financial benefits.

Funeral expenses

Reasonable funeral and burial costs.

Bereavement damages

A statutory award for the loss of a loved one.

We handle fatal accident claims with the utmost sensitivity, ensuring that families receive the compensation they need to secure their financial future.

6. Claims Against Government Departments

Claims against government departments in Hong Kong are subject to unique procedural requirements—including strict notice periods and specific statutory provisions. We handle claims involving:

Road maintenance defects (potholes, uneven surfaces, poorly maintained footpaths).

Public housing and estate accidents.

Injuries caused by government employees or contractors.

We ensure that all statutory notice requirements are met and that your claim is properly pleaded and pursued.

A serious injury affects every aspect of your life—your health, your finances, your relationships, and your future. At Jal N. Karbhari, Solicitors & Notary, we are committed to helping you secure the compensation you need to rebuild your life.
