Comment on
The focus of this controversy: the plaintiff was thrown clear of the car in traffic accidents and injuries, the identity of the vehicle or the third.
First, the plaintiff identified as third conform to the law.According to the "motor vehicle traffic accident liability compulsory insurance regulations" (hereinafter referred to as "Regulations") the provisions of twenty-first, cross strong insurance to protect the third "the car personnel, insurant outside of the victim".For the insured, "Regulations" article forty-second paragraph second is defined, refers to the legal driving the insured and permitted, and for the vehicle, the law does not clearly defined.Taken literally, this car personnel shall in the car carrying.In this case, the plaintiff's identity is special.Before the accident, which is a person, there is no doubt that belong to the vehicle; in the process of the accident, the door was off, the car was thrown out of the car, this time for the non personnel.Theory and practice a lot of people think, judge the traffic accident victims belong to the personnel of car third, should be based on the traffic accident happened at this particular point in time, in the insurance vehicle is the car personnel, under the car is third.The author thinks, "traffic accident" should not be limited to the accident to this point in time, and should be interpreted as the accident from the beginning to the end of the time.According to this understanding, in this case, in the process of traffic accident, has changed from the inside to the outside of the vehicle of the plaintiff's position, but the injury occurred in the car, the injury situation, it is not insured, also no longer is the vehicle, its status can only be third, the insurance company should pay the compensation in the amount.
Secondly, the plaintiff identified as the third person in line with the principle of fairness.In the application of legal principles should generally not be prior to the rule of law, but if all the rule of law, in order to achieve justice cases, and no more reason, can be directly application of legal principles.In this case, for the vehicle, the law does not clearly defined, the plaintiff and the driver and compared to insurance companies in a weak position, the two party will define the dispute between the third, in view of the huge difference between the rule of law is not clear and the driver and the insurance company solvency, but the rules of application of law to supplement, third were in favor of the weakness of interpretation.If the plaintiff in the case was thrown out of the car hit the others, so that the two are injured, the others will not dispute was identified as third, obtain Cali system.If the plaintiff cannot obtain the cross strong insurance payment, can appear such results: two per capita in the car were injured, just because of the accident victims in the car or truck of the different positions and get treatment and support different, this is obviously unfair.Therefore, the plaintiff identified as third more in line with the principle of fair.
In this case: (No.2012You Neimin) at the beginning of the word no.144(,2013Luo min) with the word no.828No.
