A Fair Compensation of 3 Million NTD Becomes an Urban Legend | Sanlih News Reporters You Tao and He Mengzhe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">News link:<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/qUc3YbunkzA?si=OSiDG8VmL-PNz-TG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/qUc3YbunkzA?si=OSiDG8VmL-PNz-TG<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">In many past major vehicle accidents, the victims were almost always killed by being run over twice by the wheels. There were even rumors that sometimes drivers did this intentionally because they thought &quot;it&#039;s better to kill someone than to maim them,&quot; as this would result in a significant reduction in compensation. Industry insiders also confirmed that drivers in the past did have a similar mentality, but with the widespread use of surveillance cameras, this kind of egregious behavior has gradually disappeared. Lawyers also pointed out that intentionally running over the victim is a more serious crime and results in higher compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Lawyer Liu Yiling of Fidelity Law Firm stated that if the driver intentionally causes a second death to evade compensation, the charge will change from negligent homicide to intentional homicide. The criminal liability will change from the original penalty of imprisonment of up to five years, detention, or a fine of up to NT$500,000 for negligent homicide to the death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment of more than 10 years for homicide. Moreover, the compensation liability will not be reduced as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Fuda Law Firm<br>Line\uff1a<a href=\"https:\/\/line.me\/ti\/p\/@fdlaw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/line.me\/ti\/p\/@fdlaw<\/a><br>Tel:<a href=\"tel:0277093611\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">0277093611<\/a><br>Facebook:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fudalawyer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fudalawyer<\/a><br>website:<a href=\"https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/<\/a><br>e-mail:<a href=\"mailto:info@fdlaw.com.tw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">info@fdlaw.com.tw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group fdlaw-faq-block is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is compensation for damages in a car accident calculated?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is usually calculated based on items such as medical expenses, nursing expenses, transportation expenses, loss of work, reduction of working capacity, funeral expenses, support expenses, and mental distress compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can the family members of a deceased person in a car accident request?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Family members may request funeral expenses, support payments, emotional distress compensation, and other legally claimable damages, but the amount will be determined based on the relationship, income, and evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I accept the settlement offer from the insurance company without further ado?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is advisable to first confirm whether all damage items are complete, especially since the amount of damages can vary greatly in cases of serious injury or death. It is recommended to have a lawyer assess the damages before accepting the case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<script id=\"fdlaw-generated-faq-schema-calculation-of-damages-20260706\" type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"\u8eca\u798d\u640d\u5bb3\u8ce0\u511f\u600e\u9ebc\u8a08\u7b97\uff1f\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"\u901a\u5e38\u6703\u4f9d\u91ab\u7642\u8cbb\u3001\u770b\u8b77\u8cbb\u3001\u4ea4\u901a\u8cbb\u3001\u5de5\u4f5c\u640d\u5931\u3001\u52de\u52d5\u80fd\u529b\u6e1b\u640d\u3001\u55aa\u846c\u8cbb\u3001\u6276\u990a\u8cbb\u8207\u7cbe\u795e\u6170\u64ab\u91d1\u7b49\u9805\u76ee\u8a08\u7b97\u3002\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"\u8eca\u798d\u6b7b\u4ea1\u6848\u4ef6\u5bb6\u5c6c\u53ef\u4ee5\u8acb\u6c42\u4ec0\u9ebc\uff1f\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"\u5bb6\u5c6c\u53ef\u80fd\u8acb\u6c42\u55aa\u846c\u8cbb\u3001\u6276\u990a\u8cbb\u3001\u7cbe\u795e\u6170\u64ab\u91d1\u53ca\u5176\u4ed6\u4f9d\u6cd5\u53ef\u8acb\u6c42\u7684\u640d\u5bb3\uff0c\u4f46\u91d1\u984d\u4ecd\u8981\u4f9d\u8eab\u5206\u95dc\u4fc2\u3001\u6536\u5165\u8207\u8b49\u64da\u5224\u65b7\u3002\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"\u4fdd\u96aa\u516c\u53f8\u63d0\u51fa\u548c\u89e3\u91d1\u53ef\u4ee5\u76f4\u63a5\u63a5\u53d7\u55ce\uff1f\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"\u5efa\u8b70\u5148\u78ba\u8a8d\u6240\u6709\u640d\u5bb3\u9805\u76ee\u662f\u5426\u5b8c\u6574\uff0c\u5c24\u5176\u91cd\u5927\u50b7\u4ea1\u6848\u4ef6\u91d1\u984d\u5dee\u8ddd\u53ef\u80fd\u5f88\u5927\uff0c\u63a5\u53d7\u524d\u53ef\u5148\u7531\u5f8b\u5e2b\u8a55\u4f30\u3002\"}}]}<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Urban legend says it&#039;s better to be killed by a truck than maimed; legal experts reveal terrifying consequences.
