An accident/A 68-year-old elderly man was knocked down by a neighbor’s dog while walking in a nursing home
“Come on down, your wife was knocked down by a dog.” August 25 After 7 pm on the same day, Ms. Xie, who lives in Chengdu Back Garden Community in Pidu District, had dinner and was doing homework with her granddaughter at home when she suddenly received a call from her husband. But the person on the other end of the phone is not my wife. "It must have been a kind-hearted neighbor who helped me fight. He told me to go down quickly and take a look."
Ms. Xie immediately ran downstairs and saw her husband passed out on the sidewalk between the green belts of the community. A lot of people have gathered around. There are two neighbors nearby with their dogs. These two dogs were the "culprits" that caused Ms. Xie's wife to fall. Surveillance video in the community restored what happened.
It turns out that at around 6 p.m., Ms. Xie’s wife, Uncle Chen, went for a walk in the community downstairs as usual. Just after walking around the yard for 2 or 3 times, an unleashed puppy ran from behind him. The puppy's running attracted the attention of another puppy in the green belt beside him, and it quickly also left. The dog jumped out from the left side. Although the owner was holding the dog on a leash, the dog was very close to Uncle Chen because of the long leash, and knocked Uncle Chen to the ground in an instant. Later, the two puppies got into a ball and were pulled apart by their owner.
But Uncle Chen, who fell to the ground, could not stand up. After learning what happened, Ms. Xie was angry and distressed. Fortunately, the enthusiastic neighbors and the dog owner called 120 for emergency help. After a while, Uncle Chen was taken to the nearby Pidu District Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital by medical staff. After examination, it was found that Uncle Chen had fractures in his left shoulder and hip. The condition of his left shoulder was more serious and required surgical treatment. The hospital recommended that Uncle Chen be transferred to another hospital.
A Letter of Guarantee/Originally Hehu Neighbors were unhappy over the compensation issue
On the second day, Uncle Chen was transferred to Chengdu First Orthopedic Hospital. After learning the news, dog owners from both parties went to the hospital to visit.
In response to the issue of treatment costs, Ms. Xie also negotiated with the dog owner. Thinking that we are all neighbors, Ms. Xie took the initiative and said, "If you can take social security, then take social security." For this, Ms. Dong, the dog owner who directly bumped into Uncle Chen, was also very grateful. At the same time, she also stated, "No matter how the responsibilities are divided, I am the owner of the dog, and I will definitely bear it for whatever it is our responsibility to bear."
Later, they also consulted on the cost issue together. Doctor, based on the estimate, Ms. Dong gave Ms. Xie 5,000 yuan.
I thought the matter would be resolved in this way, but unexpectedly, on the morning of the 29th, Ms. Xie found Ms. Dong again, hoping that she could write a letter of guarantee to agree on Uncle Chen’s subsequent treatment and future consequences. She will be responsible for all related issues. "I definitely can't write this. If it's a treatment period or a recovery period, it's easy to talk about it. But you said there will be problems in the next ten or eight years. Isn't that unclear?" Ms. Dong said that she did not agree to write it. This guarantee.
In addition to the surgery on his left shoulder, Uncle Chen’s hip fracture will require about three weeks of traction treatment, and the cost of treatment may increase to more than 30,000 yuan.
An explanation/distribution of responsibilities and compensation issues urgently require tripartite negotiation
Looking at the entire incident, there were two dogs that caused this accident. One of them directly collided with Uncle Chen, and the dog was on a leash. Although the other puppy did not have direct contact with Uncle Chen, its running process was what excited the other puppy, and there was no leash on it.
Looking at her wife who was still lying on the hospital bed, Ms. Xie also spoke her mind. "I just hope they can come to the hospital and take a look, and don't ignore it. The other thing is the treatment fee. We only have more than 4,000 yuan left in the hospital of 30,000 yuan, and we really can't afford it. I hope to follow up." The hospital needs to pay, and the owner of the dog that hurts people can bear it." In addition, she also consulted the doctor. Since Uncle Chen's fall was caused by a third party, the hospital was not allowed to use social security in this case.
Subsequently, the reporter also interviewed both dog owners on the phone. Among them, Mr. Yao, the owner of the dog whose leash was not tied and did not directly collide with Uncle Chen, said that he would go to the hospital for a visit tomorrow and that everyone could discuss the treatment fee together. "I'll go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow. I've been to the hospital before, and I've already paid 1,000 yuan in advance. We are all friends and neighbors, and they haven't mentioned this to me before."

Ms. Dong, the owner of the other dog, also felt aggrieved when faced with Ms. Xie’s statement. "We have been actively cooperating since the incident, and have never thought of shirk responsibility. In good conscience, if we wanted to renege, we would not have paid the 5,000 yuan in the first place, right? It is our responsibility.We will definitely be responsible. ”
