Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison
Chapter 547 - 455: Why Should I Be Held Responsible? (2)
The incident took place at the high-speed railway station, so there must have been surveillance footage at that time.
The surveillance footage clearly shows that Huang Rong indeed did not move.
First, Wang Zonglei was looking for the ticket gate, leaving only an elderly lady behind.
The result was that the elderly lady didn’t watch her step, directly collided with the luggage, and then fell over...
In the end, both the elderly lady and Wang Zonglei want Huang Rong to bear responsibility....
Wang Zonglei said, "But my mom died, and this all happened because she bumped into your luggage. You tell me, if she hadn’t bumped into your luggage that day, would this have happened? Would she have left me? Would she have died?"
Huang Rong said, "I’ll say it again, your mother’s death was because you personally gave up on treatment, not because of any reason caused by me. You gave up on treatment, which is why your mother passed away. If you hadn’t given up on treatment and withdrawn the tubes, how could your mother have died from respiratory failure? It’s not about who’s right just because someone died."
Wang Zonglei said, "There’s nothing more to say here; you definitely have to take responsibility. My mother’s death is not 100% your fault, but maybe 99%."
"I gave up on treatment because, as a family member, I have the right to do so."
"Why did I give up on treatment? Because my mother was seriously hurt by your luggage! She hit her head; do you know what that means? Do you know? And yet? You took no responsibility, didn’t even pay a penny. Why not cover the costs first? My mom got hit, shouldn’t you cover the costs?"
"Wasn’t it your luggage that hit my mom? Why are you avoiding responsibility? Why not take responsibility? If you had covered the medical expenses earlier, would I have given up on treatment? How could I have given up on treatment? But instead, you didn’t even come to the hospital!"
"You hit someone and you don’t want to take responsibility? We asked you to cover the costs, and you refused. Now that she’s dead, you say it has nothing to do with you? That’s nonsense," Wang Zonglei said.
Huang Rong was already speechless.
Huang Rong said, "I’ll say it again, I didn’t hit anyone. It was your mother who, for her own reasons, didn’t see the luggage and directly bumped into mine. I wasn’t even moving at that time."
"Moreover, the main reason for your mother’s death was that you didn’t follow the doctor’s treatment plan and chose to give up on treatment, which led to her death from respiratory failure."
"If you had followed the medical advice and treated her according to the doctor’s plan, your mother certainly wouldn’t have died. But since you gave up on treatment, her death has nothing to do with me."
Huang Rong didn’t want to take any responsibility.
What does this have to do with her?
She was just standing there; if she really hit someone and knocked them over...
If she had to bear criminal responsibility, she would accept it.
But this situation clearly has nothing to do with her.
Wang Zonglei kept insisting that she take responsibility and cover the medical costs. She couldn’t be responsible for the medical costs.
Because Huang Rong always felt that this matter had nothing to do with her.
Clearly, it was Fan Lijun who bumped into her luggage....
She was completely innocent, completely bewildered.
Who would have thought a normal person would just walk directly into someone else’s luggage?
And then after tripping and falling, blame everything on her.
She was still in line for ticket inspection, hadn’t even moved, with her luggage right behind her, ready to enter for ticket inspection at any time.
Then she encountered such a situation...
Huang Rong felt that no matter what, this incident had nothing to do with her.
She didn’t need to bear any responsibility for this incident.
Wang Zonglei said, "I want to explain, it’s because you didn’t manage your luggage properly, leading to my mom’s fall. It’s all because you didn’t manage your stuff well and your luggage obstructed others’ paths, causing others to fall. No matter what, you have some responsibility here."
"You should have thought that your luggage might obstruct others’ paths and might cause someone to fall, but you didn’t manage it well. Since your luggage caused someone to fall, isn’t that your responsibility?"
"Let me ask you, if someone is accidentally tripped by your belongings, do you think it’s appropriate to say it’s not your responsibility at all?" Wang Zonglei asked.
Huang Rong said, "I’ve also said that I feel I have no responsibility."
Wang Zonglei said, "Fine, so the mediation has failed, right? Then we can see each other in court, file a lawsuit. I will hire a lawyer to sue you. My mother’s death is your responsibility. I’ve made it clear to you in advance. I have asked around, and your actions, first causing my mom to fall and then refusing to come to the hospital or pay the medical expenses, leading to her death, hold you criminally liable. Once we go to court, you may be convicted."
"Because of you, leading to my mother’s death, this responsibility you can’t escape. We can see each other in court, and I’m sure my lawyer will explain these facts to you clearly," Wang Zonglei said.
"Then see you in court, I don’t care. You can hire a lawyer, I can hire a lawyer too," Huang Rong said.
Huang Rong always felt very wronged by this incident.
Her luggage was always right behind her...
She never said to move her luggage... or put it somewhere that interfered with others’ normal passage.
She was just in line as usual, with the luggage behind her, posing no obstruction to others, without any intention of knocking others over...
Yet now Fan Lijun falls after tripping, and all the blame is put on her. Is that fair?
Huang Rong shook her head.
They even want to blame the death of Wang Zonglei’s mother on Huang Rong.
Huang Rong only wanted to ask, on what basis?
The mediator spoke up at this time.
The mediator looked at both parties, saying, "Let’s all speak reasonably. We’re here to mediate, struggling to help everyone resolve this issue. If we can’t resolve it, then go to court. After all, the litigation process is long and tedious, so let’s take it step by step. Also, litigation costs money. I hope everyone can communicate calmly... and see if consensus can be reached."
The mediator looked at Wang Zonglei, asking, "What are your demands, or what will make you not sue?"
Wang Zonglei started, "Eighty thousand dollars, no discussions below that amount."
"I’m not trying to force Huang Rong into prison or anything; whether Huang Rong is imprisoned doesn’t concern me much."
"My mother fell and spent fifteen days in the hospital, and Huang Rong should bear all those costs."
"Those fifteen days of medical expenses were astronomical! Also, the funeral expenses after my mother’s death should also be covered by Huang Rong."
"Additionally, Huang Rong should compensate my mother... for which she is responsible for her death. If Huang Rong had covered the medical expenses earlier, my mother wouldn’t have died, and I wouldn’t ask Huang Rong to pay so much compensation. Now, since Huang Rong caused my mother’s passing, she needs to pay a sum for compensation."
Wang Zonglei directly demanded eighty thousand dollars.
In other words, if Huang Rong gives him eighty thousand dollars, he will drop the lawsuit.
The mediator looked at Huang Rong again.
Huang Rong said, "I believe Wang Zonglei himself is at fault in this matter. He clearly knew his mother was an elderly person and still didn’t watch over her properly, leaving her to walk on her own. Doesn’t he have any fault? Moreover, Fan Lijun is also an adult; even at sixty, does she not watch where she’s walking? She bumped into my luggage and then blamed me, is that fair? Is all the responsibility mine?"
Wang Zonglei said, "Yes, my mom didn’t watch her way and accidentally fell. That’s her fault; I didn’t watch over her. I have faults too, but let’s put both our shares at 20%, making a total of 40%. But the cause of the incident is still on you, you bear 60% of the responsibility. That means you need to pay 480,000 in compensation. I’m not asking for more, pay 480,000 plus the 15 days of medical costs, and I’ll drop the lawsuit."
