Woman riding against traffic tripped and killed, family sues other driver for ¥600,000: Court rejects claim.
A Chinese court rejected a lawsuit filed by a man seeking compensation after his mother tripped over another passenger’s luggage at a train station and later died. The court ruled that the woman, Ms. Wang, who was walking against the flow of traffic, was responsible for her own fall. Mr. Zhang, the passenger with the luggage, had no way to anticipate her actions and was not found negligent. The court cited the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China in its decision.
