RE: toddler run over
Oh God, that's awful! I read the article, and the guy who originally hit her said this...
Quote:“If she had died, I would have been required to pay only about 20,000 yuan (about Rs 1.5 lakh) in compensation, but if she were injured, it would cost me hundreds of thousands of yuan in hospital expenses,” he said.
Apparently, it was a money thing. The various legal fees and greed in the medical industry have inflated the cost of saving a life so much that it caused an ordinary person to nearly murder a toddler.
Quote:[...]the flawed case has led to what’s called the Peng Yu effect – where Good Samaritans are hesitant to help for fear of being entrapped and slapped with legal liability.
That's just f***ed up. That should never happen.
