Medical law knowledge] What is the follow-up fee?

The so-called follow-up fee refers to the cost of the second time if the physical signs are fixed after the injury and the residual dysfunction really needs to be re-injured or the injury has not yet recovered. A large number of cases in practice have proved that even if the victim has been discharged from the hospital, it is not the same as "completely" many victims do need to undergo a second operation after half a year, a year or even longer. At the same time, with only one year of statute of limitations, victims are in a dilemma of claiming compensation.

In accordance with the provisions of the judicial interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on the trial of personal injury compensation, the person entitled to compensation may file a separate lawsuit after the actual occurrence of the subsequent expenses.
