Park Hoi-lam

Park Hoi-lam is a Hong Kong kindergarten clerk who sustained serious injuries when a taxi allegedly struck her during the 2019 anti-government protests. She is currently involved in an HK$8.4 million personal injury lawsuit against the taxi driver, Henry Cheng Kwok-chuen. Park Hoi-lam's legal team is urging the court to hold Cheng liable for her injuries. She has testified that her normal life has been irrevocably altered, citing ongoing mobility issues, significant scarring on her legs, and the probable need for future knee replacement surgery. The case is notable as it brings a specific incident from the 2019 protests to the forefront of legal proceedings, highlighting the lasting impact on individuals involved. The taxi driver, Cheng, has denied deliberately ramming his vehicle into the crowd, claiming he lost control after being assaulted.
