Hope this is not a Chinese family. Hope they recover.

村长，要不你牵个头，给他们募捐点钱吧，别的帮不上，只是可以让他们雇个人看孩子看个把月救个急

这也是我想说的

 

[ccc]

在当地搞募捐，有些法律规定。咱不懂，不敢轻举妄动。

希望老人家能尽快康复!

因为有可能涉及到昂贵的医疗费用，在积极协助警方调查的同时，也希望老人的子女能咨询一下保险赔偿的规则。。


Liability Insurance

The only mandatory insurance coverage on vehicles is liability. This insurance protects others from damage that might be done by a driver while operating a vehicle. This includes any losses, including injury, death and property damage. Liability insurance in Canada also includes coverage to protect drivers against financial losses they might suffer due to their own medical expenses, and the loss of income that they could incur if injured in an automobile accident while driving. This portion of insurance coverage is referred to as accident benefits, and can be claimed even in the case of an at-fault accident.

I am so sad to read this news. My mom, as a pedestrian, experienced the same type of accident in
Kannta, with no further investigation and no charge to the driver. I ended up paying from my insurance
for medical cost and my insurance consequently increased in the following years for it. It was a
pedestrian walking sign (clearly), and she started to cross. When she was close to the middle divider,
there was a van making left turn, and hit her. She got broken ankle and back injury. When I rushed
to ER, the police officer told me that the driver was a good man and he didn't flee from the scene
(which is obviously irrelevant to the nature of the accident), and the officer also claimed that the
driver blamed my mom was crossing in a non-pedestrian light and the weather was foggy that he
could not see her. This was clearly a lie since my mom would be a much bigger object and she was
about half-distance from the driver than the traffic light (which means the driver either lied about the
traffic light and/or he was also reckless driving not seeing my mom's crossing and maybe he was
rushing the turn by avoiding oncoming traffic). Unfortunately, the police officer didn't bother to
investigate his credibility or to attempt finding witness. There was no follow up investigation and
the driver got only a fine of $150. BTW, I don't want to imply anything, but the officer did not bother
listening to my mom's story even when I offered to translate. She did not speak much of
English and we are clearly visible minority. Multiple follow-up calls to HQ turned out to be complete
waste of time. The most important thing is the well-being of my family.

I hope this would be investigate thoroughly and the family get well soon.

我也有类似的经历。也是在Kanata。不过我妈妈只是受了惊吓，人没有受伤。但仍然被送到医院，所有费用自己负担。她不是移民，好在我们买了保险，自己承担的费用不多。
不过，我们的情况可能牵扯不到visible minority的问题，因为警察自己也是visible minority。警察也说司机没有问题。因为以前听说过类似的事情，所以我们没有在追究，因为追究也不会有什么用。


这次的情况可能不同。因为从新闻上证人的证词来看对他们一家有利，所以我觉得有必要追究下去。


我还要感谢当时路过的一位同胞（现在连人家的名字，电话都找不到了，惭愧）。他当时主动停下来，当翻译，又联系我。我接到电话人都抓狂了。现在还是不愿去想、去说这件事儿。

还是有必要咨询一下的。他们一家的经济压力还是瞒大的（如果父母不是移民的话）。即使到医院时不用立即付款，但他们也肯定不会赖医院的帐。

精神压力更不用说了。我有过类似的经历，很痛苦。

... This is totally unlike a car collision in which the car at no fault will charge all cost to the other insurance.

Not the case any more.

这个案子应该没有争议, 是司机全责.

但是如果不在红绿灯等地方过马路,被汽车撞了, 只要没超速, 好象司机没责任.

所以说大家过马路,别相信所有的司机都是礼让, 不要把自己的命依赖于别人守规则.

千万小心.

如果你是新乡来的，那可能就是俺这位老乡了。



当年停下来后，一直wonder那位阿姨怎么样了。当时看起来她没有大恙。

谢谢你啊！是我啊。



她确实没什么事儿。主要是吓的了。幸亏有你在。她当时已经六神无主了。



我是又吓又气，你说她看着信号灯过的马路，人也倒到了地上，可司机一点责任没有，我们在医院倒花了不少钱。。。。。。还好，人没事儿。

God bless them.

Ayin 好样的

过奖了，老何。

当时看到阿姨坐在地上，肇事司机下来了。我估摸着阿姨应该是个中国人，我绕过去停好车就走过去安慰她，后来救护车来了我翻译了几句，同时给阿姨的家打电话。最后等moveinmotion来。。。

知道阿姨没有啥就好了。愿神保守她老人家健康长寿。

冬天来了，大家都小心点。走路的要特别看周围的车辆走向。

我告诉孩子们的原则是： 除了看灯，还要看车，因为即使你看灯，但撞你的车，可能不看灯。

没错，有时看到一些孩子们在路上骑车，滑板特别是天黑时，还没啥标志或很小的闪灯，就觉着危险，这等于把自己的命交到别人手中，碰上喝多的，新手，吃了药的等等，危险就大了。

不管谁对谁错，安全第一。
