Question: Simply saying, a local person who work for us was dead from car accident, now we want to know whether your company should indemnify his family or not, and how much will our company pay according to Vietnam Law if our firm is obligated to pay.

 Since the victim's family didn't claim anything from our firm yet, would you please provide us a prior opinion for free?  If it is okay for you, I'll share some more detail information to you.

 Thank you again and look forward to your reply.

Anwser: Under Vietnam Law, in case his accident is classified to occupational accident, your company shall be liable to indemnify his family.
