Chapter 1069: Chapter 347: A Shocking Case
“Hello Lawyer Tang, I am a middle school student from Lincheng City in Handong Province. Last year, my dad went to work at a construction site in Xihe City, Hanxi Province. During the construction process, a sudden fire broke out, and the hospital said my dad suffered severe burns covering 94% of his body. He has been hospitalized for nearly two hundred days.”
“However, there’s still a huge gap in the treatnt costs, and no one is willing to take responsibility. Everyone just claims they are subcontract companies and have nothing to do with this…”
“We truly can’t go on anymore, so I sincerely beg Lawyer Tang to help us.”
Just reading this private ssage alone is enough to stir outrage, but Tang Fangjing didn’t jump to conclusions hastily, knowing that there are many complex issues involved.
For example, the first issue: logically speaking, when such accidents occur, the construction units should imdiately report to the relevant departnts, and those departnts would then issue the necessary liability determination docunts.
However, in the private ssage, Tang Fangjing didn’t see anything related to that, which ans, after the accident, no one reported it to the authorities.
Cases like this used to happen quite frequently—when an accident occurs, they settle it privately first. After all, as soon as it’s officially reported, investigations from the relevant departnts are inevitable, and fines will undoubtedly follow.
In so cases, there might even be criminal implications, like the previously infamous case where an intern at a construction site signed a docunt and ended up incriminating himself…
Beyond that, there’s the second issue: technically speaking, in accidents like this, the injured parties can pursue workers’ compensation, provided their injuries are recognized as work-related. If it’s deed a work-related injury, the expenses could be covered through workers’ compensation.
Yet, the private ssage also doesn’t ntion anything about applying for workers’ compensation.
Despite the many problems in this private ssage, based on the photos, dical records, and other evidence, Tang Fangjing could at least confirm that the accident did indeed happen, and the person involved genuinely doesn’t know whom to hold accountable.
In other words, it’s like you want to file a lawsuit but don’t even know who to sue.
As for the claim that the family can’t sustain their livelihood anymore, Tang Fangjing fully acknowledges this.
He himself had experienced severe burns covering a large portion of his body before, so he understands very well that being discharged from the hospital doesn’t an the suffering has ended.
In fact, for burns as severe as this, the expenses incurred after discharge are often the largest. Without even ntioning other costs, the total expenditure for full-body scar repair is astronomical.
So might wonder: can’t one live without undergoing scar repair?
The answer is no. Without repair, independent living becos impossible. The skin and subcutaneous tissues, having been burned, fuse together completely. Without repair, a person might not be able to stand or walk independently.
For these reasons, Tang Fangjing was very interested in this case.
After so contemplation, he sent a reply to the girl whose userna was “Who Can Save My Dad”: Send your detailed address and contact information.
He also took a quick look at the videos the girl had shared online. It was evident she hoped to garner public attention through social dia.
Unfortunately, it’s truly difficult to attract widespread attention just because your situation is particularly tragic.
The girl had uploaded many videos, yet the highest view count was below one hundred—essentially no attention at all.
Don’t assu that the things trending on social dia can solve everything; public opinion isn’t omnipotent. Our country is vast, with a massive population, and countless problems arise every day.
The cases that get resolved through trending topics are exceedingly rare.
After sending the ssage, Tang Fangjing put down his phone and stretched lazily. Hopefully, this task would activate sothing, otherwise his days would be hard to endure. You never realize how scarce resources are until you truly need them.
anwhile, in another place—Temple Street Village under Lincheng City—sixteen-year-old Lin Nannan was staring blankly at her phone.
Her father, lying in bed, was already asleep, but even his breathing emitted heavy sounds that were heart-wrenching to hear.
The nightmare of that accident had been haunting the family for over three hundred days. Her father had been discharged from the hospital and was now resting back in their old ho.
Yet still, they hadn’t been able to identify anyone responsible. Only in the very beginning had soone covered a fraction of the dical costs, but compared to the subsequent expenses of treatnt, that portion was rely a drop in the bucket.
Thankfully, the hospital was humane and hadn’t pushed for paynt, even providing many dications for use at ho.
As for why they returned to their old ho, the answer was simple: living elsewhere ant renting, and renting costs money.
With no one taking responsibility and her father being the family’s main breadwinner, his incapacitation plunged her and her mother into utter helplessness.
Relatives couldn’t offer much help; each had their own suggestions, leaving them unsure whose advice to follow.
As a student, Lin Nannan certainly couldn’t travel to Hanxi to negotiate on her own, so her mother was the one who had been running back and forth, but to no avail.
With no other options, Lin Nannan decided to try contacting the renowned Lawyer Tang online through a private ssage. If he could assist, their situation might drastically improve.
Then, at that very mont, a notification for a new ssage popped up on her phone. Lin Nannan quickly opened it and froze.
The reply was from Lawyer Tang. Lawyer Tang had actually responded to her ssage!
Though the reply was quite cold, for Lin Nannan, it felt like the gloomy sky suddenly had a ray of sunlight piercing through!
And that ray of sunlight was so intense it seed capable of breaking through all the darkness in the world!
Overwheld, Lin Nannan imdiately sent over the requested information and began making phone calls.
“Hello, Mom? You should co back tomorrow. Yes, I sent a ssage to the famous Lawyer Tang Fangjing online, and he replied! He said he’s going to help our family!”
