He was subsequently sued for negligent injury, sparking a discussion about the risks of helping others. It is important to distinguish that the person involved later clarified that the NT$110,000 settlement was a settlement he chose after considering the time and cost of litigation, and was not a court order requiring him to pay compensation; the settlement does not mean that the court has determined that his rescue was negligent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-border-color has-text-color\" style=\"border-left-color:#b47a35;border-left-style:solid;border-left-width:5px;color:#17324d;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:10px;padding-left:12px;font-size:clamp(14.082px, 0.88rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.54), 21px);\">Lawyer Li Yusheng explains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an interview, Attorney Li Yusheng of Fidelity Law Firm explained that taking necessary and reasonable rescue measures to eliminate imminent danger to another person&#039;s life or body may allow for liability exemption, even if the rescued person is injured in the process. The key considerations are whether the danger was imminent, whether the measures were reasonable, and the relationship between the injury and the action, rather than immediately determining liability based on the injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Article 175 of the Civil Code provides protection for emergency management without mandate: In principle, unless there is malicious intent or gross negligence, the administrator who manages affairs to avert imminent danger to another person&#039;s life, body, or property shall not be liable for any damages arising therefrom.<a href=\"https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/en\/civil\/\">Liability for damages<\/a>This pertains to civil liability; criminal negligence-related injury requires separate determination based on the elements of the crime. In emergency situations, it is advisable to seek assistance first, provide reasonable assistance within one&#039;s capabilities, and promptly preserve surveillance footage, witness accounts, and on-site records. If charged, the evidence should be clarified before assessing whether to settle or pursue litigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background
