Children injured in restaurants can sue for compensation. Article 6 of the Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in the Trial of Personal Injury Compensation Cases states that if a natural person, legal person or other organization engaged in business activities such as accommodation, catering, entertainment or other social activities fails to fulfill its security obligations within a reasonable range and causes personal injury to others, the people's court shall support it. If damage is caused by infringement by a third party, the infringing third party shall be liable for compensation. If the security obligor is at fault, he shall bear the corresponding supplementary liability for compensation within the scope that he can prevent or stop the damage.
