the case closed. Now i'd like to let you guys know the results. In mid April, nearly 4 months later after the accident occured, both parties (I and the lady) attended the pre-trial in court.
Court thinks this accident happened because of both parties' careless drive behavior, the matter is which party (I or the lady) should take more responsibilites and what the porportion is (20%vs 80%, or 30% vs 70%?).
What I fought in the pre-trial were:
1. the $7000 car fix fee is too much, I can find her a place to get her car fixed with much lower charge.
2. I can take no more than 70% of repsonsibilites in relation to the accident. She was driving with no care so that she should take no less than 30%.
after negotiation with the court help, she agreed lower down from $7000 to $5000 in total, and I take 70% of the responsiblities, so it ended up me paying her $3500.00.
$3500 is only a half of her initial quotation. It can be understood I won the case.
So my dear chinese fellowers, DON'T BE AFRAID OF FIGHTING FOR YOUR OWN BENIFITS. Don't always think like "OK, it's my fault, I give you money, it's all my fucking bad." if everyong chiense does that way, this will spoil the local. they will eventually come to us and bully us, which none of us like to see that happend.
Since you are in Australia, put yourself in a equal position as the local, or even somethime we need to be tougher to fight against bullies, unfairness ect.
To those who commented like:
"这番辨白的大意就是楼主认为能赖掉的话就是用法律武器保护了自己,鬼佬会从心底尊重他"
"我kao,几天不上来,上来就看到个这货。你还能再无耻点么?"
"而且,你也知道自己是“全责”,而且,你还用了“赖”这个字。。。。。。"
I seriously feel shame on you, and doubt you will live respectully in Australia.
one more thing to say, DO NOT BE AFRAID OF WHITE PEOPLE, CHINESE NEED TO BE TOUGHER. |
