Chapter 1079: Chapter 350: This, Is Just a Beginning!_2
And the anti-corrosion and insulation project clearly can’t be split.
Does Liming Company not want to take on any projects here in the future?
But on second thought, it seems reasonable. Lin Youliang is clearly a bottomless pit; no one would want to step into this ss.
Although right now it looks like only a few million needs to be paid, you have to understand that these are just the initial costs. If it’s determined to be a certain disability level, even more money will need to be given later.
Because the lump-sum disability subsidies require the injured party’s consent.
So, there’s definitely sothing seriously wrong with that Boss Pang!
“So the current situation is that Liming Company believes Dayi Company is the actual employer, right? Using this argunt to deflect liability?” Lawyer Tang spoke up.
“Yes, Lawyer Tang, so the issue now is that you need to reapply.” The staff replied again.
These are two separate companies, so they can’t directly make a determination. The parties involved must reapply for the determination.
“Alright, I understand. Dayi Company, right? I’ll head over there today.”
After hanging up the phone, Lawyer Tang recorded all the information he had gathered so far on the system panel.
First, the general contractor is Hanxi Construction Group Company, which subcontracted many projects to Dezheng Company. The contract between them appears to be a professional engineering construction contract.
Dezheng Company then subcontracted the anti-corrosion and insulation project to Liming Company in Modu, and their contract is also a professional engineering construction contract.
Liming Company sees itself as a specialized subcontractor, and it delegated the labor portion—painting work—to Dayi Company in Modu.
Then, Dayi Company presumably brought in the labor contractor Qi Baohui, who is acquainted with Lin Youliang, to handle the work.
Qi Baohui subsequently found Lin Youliang and others to do the job.
Looking at it this way, Liming Company seemingly has no legal risk, whereas Dayi Company might be liable for compensation for the work injury.
It’s genuinely fascinating; the phrase “legal risk” feels almost like a joke in this context.
Imagine asking Lin Youliang’s wife to navigate this—how much effort would she need to figure out that the work injury liability lands on Dayi Company?
If the employer isn’t identified, you can’t even apply for work injury determination, because the staff processing the injury cases needs a target organization to investigate.
But for now, the pressing matter is to make another trip to Xihe City and submit the necessary materials.
Thus, Lawyer Tang traveled to Xihe City once again. Since he had the ti, tackling such a cumberso case required a step-by-step approach, ensuring each action was solid.
He was certain that Dayi Company wouldn’t easily accept responsibility. This kind of substantial compensation, along with potential future payouts, ant they would never willingly admit liability, so preparation for litigation was necessary.
Why is protecting rights such a hassle? Because if you can use the lawsuit process, so can the other party.
At the familiar counter in Xihe City’s labor and social security office, Lawyer Tang submitted the revised application.
“Lawyer Tang, sorry to trouble you again, but it should be quicker this ti,” the staff mber smiled after reviewing the materials.
Lawyer Tang nodded: “Try to expedite things as much as possible. The client’s situation is really bad; he needs so hope, or I genuinely worry he might resort to suicide one day.”
At this point, suicide is definitely not an option—it would drastically reduce the compensation amount.
Having experienced burn injuries himself, he deeply understood the feeling—it was a state where life truly seed worse than death.
After submitting the application, Lawyer Tang returned to Xiping City the sa day since the Lanshan District Court had issued a summons for a trial in two days.
The trial was finally approaching. He grew increasingly curious about what kind of investigation report Hanxi Construction Group would produce.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day. Modu Dayi Company, a relatively large labor dispatch firm, managed labor outsourcing services for nurous companies.
At this mont, the boss, Chang Huazhi, was making a phone call in his office.
“How many tis have I told you? When labor dispatch workers are dismissed, what does that have to do with us? They can sue wherever they want. If they win the case, I’ll pay. What’s the rush?”
“Labor laws—whoever made those laws, they can go complain to them! Anyway, we’re not covering anything here. Our company has no relations with them whatsoever. Got it? That’s it!”
After hanging up, Chang Huazhi was visibly irritated. “One after another—they don’t understand the cost of running a business. If I paid every salary, I’d be drinking from the northwest wind.”
That was the reality. Although the law specifies that labor dispatch workers have a labor relationship with the dispatch company, he simply refused to acknowledge it.
As far as he was concerned, they could go ahead and sue him. If they won, he’d pay. If they didn’t sue, he’d just save the money—simple as that.
His company operated sowhat like a human resources agency: when there was work, they would directly hire contractors, who already had laborers lined up.
Just then, the office door swung open as the head of the legal affairs departnt walked in: “Boss Chang, there’s a problem!”
“What’s the matter? Look at you, all flustered. The sky isn’t falling!” Chang Huazhi replied casually.
“Boss Chang, do you rember last year when we hired a contractor to work in Xihe City? There was a burn injury involving a migrant worker.”
Chang Huazhi thought hard…but couldn’t quite recall.
Still, he responded: “I have so vague impression. So what? That has nothing to do with us. We signed a safety agreent back then—the accidents on-site aren’t our company’s responsibility.”
Naturally, anyone in this line of work wasn’t a fool. Construction sites were prone to accidents, so signing agreents to avoid liability was always the first step.
