NEWProfile
Zhou Xueqin is the principal lawyer at Hubei Yangzhong Law Firm in Xianning, Hubei Province. She holds a bachelor's degree from Wuhan University School of Law and brings 15 years of court experience, having previously worked in the judicial system. Attorney Zhou served as defense counsel in the high-profile Liu Han and Liu Wei organized crime case. She is a member of the Xianning Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
In the area of product liability insurance, Attorney Zhou advises both policyholders and insurance companies on coverage disputes, policy interpretation, and claim handling under Chinese insurance law. The PRC Insurance Law, together with relevant Supreme People's Court judicial interpretations, governs insurance contract formation, coverage scope, exclusions, and claims procedures. Attorney Zhou helps clients navigate product liability insurance claims, coverage denials, and subrogation actions.
Attorney Zhou's broader practice includes debt recovery, traffic accidents, contract disputes, personal injury, insurance claim disputes, marriage and family, engineering construction, real estate, and criminal defense. She serves clients in Xianning and throughout Hubei Province.
In insurance claim litigation, Attorney Zhou has represented numerous clients in disputes against major Chinese insurance companies. She is particularly experienced in challenging unreasonable claim denials based on policy exclusion clauses that fail to meet the disclosure requirements of Article 17 of the PRC Insurance Law. Under this provision, insurers must clearly explain exclusion clauses to policyholders at the time of contract formation; clauses that are not properly disclosed are legally unenforceable. Attorney Zhou has successfully litigated cases involving denied product liability claims, disputed coverage for manufacturing defects, and subrogation actions where insurers seek to recover payouts from responsible third parties.
Attorney Zhou's subrogation practice covers both insurer-initiated subrogation claims against responsible parties and defense of insured parties against subrogation actions. She understands the complex interplay between tort liability under the PRC Civil Code and contractual indemnity provisions in insurance policies. Her experience includes product recall disputes, where multiple policy coverage layers, deductible calculations, and claims reporting deadlines create particularly complex legal questions. She also advises manufacturers on product liability risk management, including policy coverage review, claims reporting protocols, and documentation practices that strengthen coverage positions in the event of a product-related loss.
