 143. The date of the victim's absence from work shall be determined according to the actual degree of damage, recovery status and with reference to the certificate issued by the treatment hospital or forensic expertise. The standard of compensation may be calculated on the basis of the victim's wage standard or the amount of his actual income.
 If the victim is a contracted business or self-employed business, the calculation standard of the compensation for lost time may be determined by reference to the average income of the victim within a certain period of time. If the planting and breeding industry contracted by the victim is very seasonal and will cause greater losses if it is not operated in time, in addition to the measures the victim should take to prevent the loss from expanding, the infringer can also be ruled to take measures to prevent the loss from expanding.
