I’m a foreigner and over the weekend I was attacked and assaulted by another foreigner outside of some bars in Xinyi. The cops were nearby and separated us and called an ambulance. I was continually asked if I wanted to sue but not if I wanted to press charges. Long story short, I took the ambula…

Unfortunately I don’t have much in the way of legal advice, but this bell-end just attacked you for absolutely no reason??

I am also not legally qualified to respond, but I shall anyway: My take on most legal situations in Taiwan is the objective is to secure harmony without entering the legal system.

Yup, American. I’ll check out the link! A local friend called and said they had a lawyer friend that would represent me for 60,000NT. Said lawyer also said that most personal injury cases such as this one usually have payouts around 200k. I’m not interested in the money, just interested in him b…

We have a lot of great ex-pats in Taiwan. But boy, we have a lot of shitty ones too. Hope his crazy, belligerent, homophobic ass gets deported.
