[Direct answer]Generally, the party at fault does not bear liability for compensation, but there are exceptions in motor vehicle traffic accidents. According to Article 76 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China (amended on April 29, 2021), if a traffic accident occurs between a motor vehicle and a non-motor vehicle driver or a pedestrian, and the motor vehicle party is not at fault, it shall bear no more than 10% of the compensation liability; if the losses of the traffic accident are caused by the non-motor vehicle driver or the pedestrian intentionally colliding with the motor vehicle, the motor vehicle party shall not bear liability for compensation. In addition, compulsory motor vehicle insurance may also pay compensation within the corresponding limits in the case of no-fault circumstances. Therefore, whether to bear liability needs to distinguish between the subject and the fault. When handling such cases in Beijing, the court will make a comprehensive judgment based on the accident identification and legal provisions.

I. Problem background and typical scenarios

There are three typical scenarios: first, an accident between a motor vehicle and a pedestrian, where the motor vehicle is deemed not at fault; second, both parties are motor vehicles, and one party is deemed not liable; third, the accident is deliberately caused by one party. In the above scenarios, the rules for liability and insurance compensation are different and need to be judged separately. The law makes different arrangements for accidents between different parties, and the general rules of tort liability cannot be simply applied. Therefore, it is necessary to first clarify the subject of the accident and the situation of the fault. You can first learn about it.Personal injury and medical disputesThe relevant rules of the platform.

Based on the general circumstances of similar cases, it is necessary to promptly preserve medical records, surveillance footage, and consultation records to prevent key evidence from being difficult to recover due to modification or loss of medical records. When necessary, professional lawyers can be engaged to avoid losing favorable positions due to procedural or time-limit issues.

II. Key points of contention

The controversy focuses on four points: First, whether "no liability" means no compensation at all, and whether there are special rules for motor vehicles against non-motor vehicles and pedestrians; Second, how to determine the scope and limits of no-fault compensation; Third, whether the motor vehicle party is exempt from liability if the other party causes the accident intentionally; Fourth, the compensation arrangements of compulsory auto insurance in the case of no-fault circumstances; Fifth, how to provide evidence and defend against lawsuits when the no-fault party is sued, and whether the compensated portion can be recovered from the real responsible party. The above issues need to be judged comprehensively based on the causes of the accident, insurance clauses, and the evidence in the case, and it is not appropriate to simply calculate the liability ratio.

The essence of such disputes lies in reasonably determining the compensation items and the proportion of liability, taking into account the connection between insurance claims, liability sharing, and subsequent treatment costs. When necessary, professional lawyers can be engaged to avoid losing favorable positions due to procedural or statute of limitations issues.

III. Professional analysis by Henglue Lawyers

Henglue Lawyer's practical experience in the field of traffic accident compensation shows that the disputes in non-liability cases often stem from a misinterpretation of the rules. There are three common problems: First, equating non-liability with no compensation at all, ignoring the special provisions for non-motor vehicles and pedestrians; Second, not understanding the limits and scope of no-fault compensation, making claims or defenses without a basis; Third, failing to distinguish between the other party's intentional acts and negligence, affecting the determination of exemption from liability. In the judicial practice of Beijing courts, no-fault compensation usually has clear proportions and limits, and compulsory motor vehicle insurance may also pay within the no-fault limit; if the loss is caused by the other party's intentional acts, the motor vehicle party may not bear the liability for compensation. It is recommended that after obtaining the accident identification certificate, the parties accurately apply the rules according to the subject and fault, and evaluate the nature of no-fault compensation and the scope of recovery.

IV. Practical Suggestions and Legal Basis

Action list: First, obtain the accident identification certificate to clarify the responsibilities of all parties; Second, distinguish the main parties involved in the accident and apply the corresponding compensation rules; Third, verify the limits and scope of the no-fault compensation of compulsory insurance; Fourth, if the accident was caused by the other party's intentional act, collect evidence to claim exemption from liability; Fifth, initiate legal proceedings in a timely manner if no agreement can be reached on the compensation dispute.

5. Henglu Law Firm's Reminder

Firstly, the absence of liability does not mean there will be no compensation at all. There are special provisions for motor vehicles in relation to non-motor vehicles and pedestrians. Secondly, there are specific ratios and limits for no-fault compensation, which should be accurately calculated. Thirdly, if the other party intentionally causes losses, the insured can claim exemption from liability, but relevant evidence is required. Fourthly, the no-fault compensation under compulsory motor vehicle liability insurance should not be overlooked, and the insured can exercise this right through legal channels.Personal injury and medical disputesPlease refer to the column for details of the rules. Fifth, if the party not at fault has already made compensation in advance, it may seek compensation from the party who is truly responsible according to law, and should properly keep the compensation receipts and materials for determining liability.

Therefore, it is recommended that the parties involved should focus on the three elements of fault, causality, and damage consequences, and, if necessary, use appraisal opinions to fix professional facts. Fixing evidence and clarifying claims at an early stage is usually more effective than remedying the situation after the fact.

VI. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: If there's no responsibility, do I not have to pay compensation?

Under normal circumstances, there is no liability for compensation, but if an accident occurs between a motor vehicle and a non-motor vehicle or a pedestrian and the motor vehicle is not at fault, the motor vehicle party shall bear no more than 10% of the compensation liability. Therefore, the absence of liability does not necessarily mean no compensation at all. It is necessary to distinguish between the subject of the accident and the specific circumstances.

Q2: What is the amount of no-fault compensation?

According to current regulations, if the motor vehicle party is not at fault, it shall bear no more than 10% of the compensation liability; the specific proportion and amount shall be determined by the court based on the circumstances of the case. In addition, the compulsory motor vehicle insurance will also pay compensation within the corresponding limits in the case of non-liability, which is used to ensure that the victims can receive timely assistance.

Q3: Do pedestrians who intentionally crash into cars have to pay compensation?

Not responsible. If the losses from a traffic accident are caused by a non-motor vehicle driver or a pedestrian intentionally colliding with a motor vehicle, the motor vehicle party shall not bear the liability for compensation. The party claiming exemption from liability shall provide evidence of the other party's intentional act, and the court shall determine the facts based on the on-site situation and the evidence.

Q4: Does compulsory motor vehicle liability insurance provide no-fault compensation?

Yes, compensation will be provided. Under the no-fault scenario, compulsory insurance usually compensates victims within the corresponding limits to ensure basic relief. The limit standards are determined by current regulations and differ from those applicable to liability scenarios. The specific compensation amount can be verified with the insurance company and is subject to the insurance terms and current regulations.

Q5: What should I do if I'm not at fault but am still being sued?

You should actively defend yourself and provide evidence. You can submit the accident determination letter and other evidence to demonstrate that you are not at fault. If it involves special circumstances such as a motor vehicle colliding with a non-motor vehicle or a pedestrian, you should put forward opinions on the liability ratio and compensation scope. If it is the other party's intentional act, you should claim exemption from liability. If necessary, you can hire a lawyer to assist in handling the case.
