Recently, a traffic accident occurred near the intersection of Zhonghua Road and Yueyaquan Road in Ganjingzi District, Dalian City, Liaoning Province. An old man suffered multiple fractures all over his body and the surgery cost nearly 70,000 yuan. On March 24, Ms. Pan, a family member, admitted that the old man was at fault for running a red light and was willing to take responsibility. However, she also hoped that all parties involved would actively cooperate and shoulder their due responsibilities.
On the evening of March 24, reporters met the man surnamed Pan who was involved in the accident and his family members at the Third People's Hospital Affiliated to Dalian University of Technology. The 67-year-old man said he encountered the accident while riding his bike home on the day of the incident.
According to Ms. Pan, her father recalled while lying in the hospital bed that after the first car knocked him down, the old man was frightened and panicked for a moment, and then he continued riding forward without choosing the right path.
According to the hospital diagnosis, the accident caused multiple fractures to the old man's body, and he has now received surgical treatment. The old man's daughter, Ms. Pan, told reporters that her father's medical expenses have cost nearly 70,000 yuan so far.
"It is indeed wrong for the old man to run a red light. We are willing to bear the corresponding responsibility and have never thought of using it to blackmail anyone." Ms. Pan said that now watching her father lying in the hospital bed, while she is waiting for the determination of responsibility for the accident, she also hopes that all parties involved can actively cooperate, jointly assume their due responsibilities, and try their best to help her father with the next step of rehabilitation.
At present, she has received corresponding compensation from compulsory traffic insurance for three vehicles.
[Lawyer’s statement]
While waiting for the responsibility to be determined, properly keep the medical receipts
In this regard, lawyer Song Aojia from Liaoning Binpeng Law Firm stated that the final division of accident liability shall be based on the determination letter issued by the traffic police. While waiting for liability determination, family members should properly keep all medical-related bills as key evidence for subsequent claims.
Based on the liability ratio determined in the determination letter, family members can claim various losses such as medical expenses and nursing expenses. If negotiations fail, you can file a civil lawsuit in accordance with the law to safeguard your legitimate rights and interests.
