Gov’t launches information and referral platform for civil claims

It offers legal information including methods for calculating work injury compensation.

The government has launched the Hong Kong Civil Claim Centre, an online information and referral platform designed specifically for residents.

The platform aims to provide transparent guidance on work injuries, traffic accidents, and other civil claims. It connects users with qualified practising lawyers to ensure appropriate legal assistance.

Additionally, it offers legal information, including methods for calculating work injury compensation, details on sick leave allowances, and application procedures.

Another feature is its “Work Injury Encyclopaedia,” which provides detailed information tailored to different occupations, injuries, and scenarios.

“Our goal is to ensure every citizen clearly understands their rights and receives professional support when needed,” a spokesperson for the Hong Kong Civil Claim Centre said.
