Court in China in Qingdao ordered a woman on behalf of Wang to pay 70,000 yuan ( £8.3 Lakh) As a compensation to a 59 -year -old woman named Liu. But many people thwarted the reason.
Liu walked in her residential area in May 2023 when she suddenly stopped to answer the phone call and turn. Wang, who walked behind her and did not pay attention, entered Liu.
The collision caused Liu to fallen and suffered from bone fractures. Later she was diagnosed with disability of 10.
In China, the involvement is evaluated on a scale of 1 to 10, with the 1st degree is the most serious and grade 10 is the smallest. Class 10 involvement in China usually involves partial damage or deformity to the organ. However, it does not include functional shortcomings. According to the Chinese working bulletin, it does not require any medical care.
According to the court, Wang was careless and was supposed to watch where he was going.
Liu initially asked Wang to pay 188,000 yuans (o £22 Lakh) as a compensation for health costs and injuries after the accident. While Liu blamed Wang, Wang said Liu suddenly stopped.
The judge watched the CCTV shots and said they were both partially responsible. He blamed Liu for stopping in the middle of the road and Wang for not paying attention. After negotiating Wang agreed to pay 70,000 yuan in installments.
The case became viral on Chinese social media, and many ask why a person who walks behind was accused. The case caused a public debate because the judge accused Wang of “not to hold a safe distance while walking for Li”. In China, these road laws only apply to vehicles.
The reaction of social media
“The judge should be more cautious about a public call about the case; otherwise it could have a negative social impact,” the South morning post of online user quoted.
Another commented: “It would be another case if the person not only stopped but also went back, but judged by video recordings should be a responsible person for the accident.”
“I believe people should keep their distance apart when walking or in the queue when there is enough space,” another user said.
Some users remembered the 2006 case, when a man named Pengu Yu helped an older woman who fell. Later she sued him and blamed him for her fall.
The judge ruled against Pengu and said that no one would help foreigners with “common sense”. This decision still affects people in China to this day. Many are still afraid to help others because of possible false claims.
