What's wrong with this lawyer?!

However, it cannot initiate litigation or pursue criminals on its own; that is the real bottom line. Of course, now with the focus on dispute resolution management, such matters are usually settled through mediation first. It's just that in the case of Yang Tiezhi and his partner, the situation was beyond mediation. Therefore, if he doesn't sue, the other party will definitely not compensate him. This is a characteristic of the judiciary; if you don't actively protect your own legal rights, then there is nothing to be done, for there is no savior in this world. If you don't protect your own rights, how can you expect others to do so? Finally understanding, Yang Tiezhi spoke up, "Lawyer Tang, what you mean is, the expenses for the other party's injuries should be covered by the company, right?" "That's right," Old Tang nodded in agreement. "Then that's good. As long as I don't have to pay, it's easy to handle," Yang Tiezhi said excitedly. Old Tang looked at Yang Tiezhi, who was about to say something else when his cell phone rang. "Hello, oh I... okay, okay." After hanging up, Yang Tiezhi spoke, "Sorry about that, Lawyer Tang. There's an issue on my construction site that I have to attend to. How about I..." "That's no problem. If you trust me, let's sign a contract now. Once the contract is signed, I can start working on the case. Although it's a straightforward case, it will be quite cumbersome to handle," Old Tang said with a smile. "Lawyer Tang, of course I trust you. Let's sign the contract now!" Yang Tiezhi was well aware that he had lucked out. With Lawyer Tang's current status and reputation, even a substantial fee wouldn't guarantee his services. The current case involved labor issues, so contingency fees were not an option, and the charges would be standard. However, Old Tang's fees were very low. This, too, depended on the specifics of the case. Like the last case, where the husband frequented prostitutes and was wealthy, the consultation fee charged was thirty thousand, and that was a significant discount. This time, it was almost for nothing. After signing the contract, Yang Tiezhi left with a grateful expression. Having seen Lawyer Tang's videos before, he knew his style very well and didn't say much else, only thinking of how to properly thank him later. In a hurry, Yang Tiezhi departed, and Old Tang called out, "Qingqing, Qingqing, book me a plane ticket to Donglan City in Hannan Province." Upon hearing this, Wang Qingqing walked in and said, "You just got back and are about to travel again? Tang, not to criticize, but this is a bit too much." He had only returned from overseas treatment last night, went to work for the first time today, and was already preparing for a business trip tomorrow. Not even a production brigade's donkey worked at such a relentless pace. "Too much? Qingqing, you don't understand, handling cases is how I relax. Hurry up and go, this case is quite interesting." As Old Tang spoke, his eyes casually swept over the system panel in front of him. A new mission finally appeared on the panel that had been quiet for a year. Mission Objective: Educate Kaisen Company through the power of law! Mission Progress: 0% Mission Reward: 50% completion, reward of one week of life 100% completion, reward of three months of life 200% completion, reward of six months of life It was a timely boon indeed. Those thirty-one cases from before were not missions, merely things Old Tang felt compelled to do. He saw injustice and acted, knowing that he had some life expectancy to spare and it wasn't an issue to keep going. After working for the better part of the year and taking a bullet, he thought of taking on smaller cases for relaxation upon leaving the hospital, also devoid of any missions. That led to an entire year of treatment. Essentially, for two years, he had not gained any life expectancy. Old Tang's life balance had now fallen below two years, so it was crucial to replenish it quickly. Moreover, he had not ceased studying even during his treatment in the hospital. It was as if, after two years of restraint and acquiring professional knowledge, he was now like a strong man finally seeing a target to unleash upon... At this point, Old Tang could hardly wait to rush to Donglan City and give Kaisen Company a taste of what the hell so-called law is! As for Lin Shuqiang, that was just taking advantage of the situation while hunting, an incidental matter. To be straightforward, Old Tang didn't have any particularly good method to "educate" Lin Shuqiang. He didn't mention legitimate defense because he felt that if the situation were indeed so, it would be tough to argue it was self-defense. The police had detained Yang Tiezhi and even fined him, which indicated that Yang's retaliation had indeed resulted in significant injuries to the other party. This aspect definitely needed effort, and at the very least, the administrative detention should be revoked. The company's involvement needed to be much more robust. ``` The best course of action would be to have the company educate Lin Shuqiang. It's not difficult to achieve this step, you just need to make the company feel the pinch... Having the company pay the thirty thousand is just one aspect, what Old Tang is planning to do on top of that is to have Yang Tiezhi sue Lin Shuqiang as well and make him bear the tort liability for damages. Yes, compensation for work-related injuries and tort damages compensations can proceed concurrently. It's not just work-related injuries; if you have bought personal injury insurance like accidental injury from commercial insurance, then when both commercial insurance and tort damages facts exist at the same time, you can claim money from both. There have been quite a few cases concerning this matter. This means that if Zhang San is hit by Li Si's car, then Li Si's insurance company compensates Zhang San for a series of losses including hospitalization and expenses such as lost wages and transportation. However, Zhang San also has personal insurance that includes accidental injury, accidental medical, and additional accidental injury hospital income protection et cetera. He then claims compensation from his own insurance company but gets rejected on the grounds that double compensation is not allowed. Subsequently, he takes the case to court, and the first instance court believes that since the subject of the insurance is the insured's health, compensation should be based on the principle of indemnity if your health has been violated. So to put it in plain language, if others have compensated you, then you can't continue to claim; insurance is supposed to compensate you, not let you profit from it. After going through the first and second instances, the higher court finally holds that the so-called indemnity principle is actually the principle of making whole, which is not applicable to personal injury insurance... meaning you can collect from both sources. At the extreme, even if the insurance company compensating the other party and your own insurance company are the same, you can still make them pay twice. Why is the principle of making whole not applicable to personal injury insurance? The Supreme Court has specifically made an interpretation that, to put it plainly, humans... well, humans aren't objects, personal injury insurance covers human bodily functions and even life itself. Therefore, damage to the human body cannot be simply quantified by "how much was lost". Why, is human life pricable? Don't say someone died and was compensated with so much; that is not a valuation of human life, but the result of a comprehensive calculation. In essence, the point is that human life is priceless; therefore, the principle of making whole does not apply, and there is no problem in claiming money twice. Putting work-related injuries in the same context, it's the same because an injury has ultimately occurred. What Old Tang needs to do is first to ascertain the work-related injury, then, based on the amount of compensation for the injury, sue Lin Shuqiang. Not for any reason except that this amount of money is difficult to calculate, so when the time comes, submit all the required documents and let the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau work out the amount; you can then directly use it, nice and simple. If you can mooch, there's no need to do it yourself. In short, things have to be done step by step; the last and easiest step is to apply for labor compensation. Once it's established as a work-related injury, the so-called fight is actually because of work, and then you're fired because I was injured at work? The path naturally becomes wider. Although the case is very small and simple, it is quite interesting. Others in the law firm have learned of the news and came to ask about it, and Old Tang could only meet with everyone again. People like Wen Weilin, Zhang Wei and others will definitely need to have a chat. It turned into late evening with this, so they simply had Old Wang treat them once more. Time swiftly moved to the next day, and after getting up, Old Tang set off for Jingzhou Airport. This trip was not dangerous, so he brought Wang Qingqing along. In the afternoon, Old Tang arrived in Donglan City and quickly went to the Donglan City Lushan District Human Resources and Social Security Bureau with the relevant materials and submitted them at the work injury application counter. At first, the staff member Chu Xiuhui did not pay attention, but when she saw the authorization letter, she was stunned. "Tang, Tang Fangjing? You are Tang Fangjing?" Because she was so shocked, Chu Xiuhui didn't even look at the application materials properly. Wasn't Tang Fangjing supposed to be dead? How could he suddenly appear in Donglan City? The voice was so loud that many people around looked over, and when they saw Old Tang wearing a mask, they all became a bit confused. Ten minutes later, a bombshell news story appeared online: Tang Fangjing had returned, had already taken on a new case, and was currently in Donglan City! This news shocked those who had been cashing in on his name for the past year; previously burned like that, he's actually not dead? And he can still come back? ```
