Q: Hello, I am the person in charge of the traffic accident last year. I hit a child of 14 years old. During the treatment, I paid all the medical expenses, including the nutrition required by the family members of the client, but now when it is necessary to close the case, the client requires me to pay 40,000 yuan for the plastic surgery of the scar left during the operation. Should I pay this money? Note: The party concerned has been assessed as 10-level disability.

What expenses are included in the traffic accident handling fee?

1. What expenses are included in the traffic accident handling fee?

If there is a difference between medical expenses and treatment expenses, medical expenses include treatment expenses, drug expenses and equipment expenses. Medical expenses refer to the expenses necessary for hospitals to treat traffic accident injuries after road traffic accidents, which cause certain personal injuries and require medical treatment to restore health.

Medical expenses mainly include registration fee, examination fee, laboratory fee, operation fee, treatment fee, hospitalization fee and medicine fee. Medical expenses can be hospitalization expenses or outpatient medical expenses, but the purpose of expenditure is to treat the disabled and rescue the seriously injured and dead in traffic accidents. The occurrence of medical expenses is an obvious consequence of road traffic accidents, which reflects the respect and protection of the victims' basic personal rights, such as personal rights and health rights, and naturally should be compensated.

Two, whether to continue to pay the follow-up expenses of the death of traffic accident victims.

(1) If the victims of traffic accidents actually received rehabilitation and post-treatment after the court decision and before their death, they can now sue for compensation for the costs of rehabilitation and post-treatment. If there is no rehabilitation and follow-up treatment before death, the prosecution will not be supported.

(2) The traffic accident victim has died and can no longer be prosecuted in the name of the traffic accident victim. If you are the heir of the traffic accident victim, you can sue in your name.

(3) If both parties reach a settlement agreement and one party dies, the other party naturally does not have to perform the agreement. If the family of the injured brings a lawsuit, the court shall rule to dismiss the lawsuit. This is the reason why the debt died, because one party died.
