[lawyer's opinion] 1. On the conviction and sentencing of this case. The existing evidence in the volume can not prove that the victim died on the spot when the accident occurred, that is, the victim died when the defendant fled in the car. The defendant's confession proved that he had seen the collision, but he did not get off the car to check the injury of the injured person, and did not take any rescue measures, that is, he drove away from the scene. According to the procedural documents of the public security organs, the test records of the first aid center, and in combination with the statements of the defendant, it is proved that after the traffic accident involved in his driving, he knew that the place where the accident occurred was not a busy main road and was relatively remote, and that there were few vehicles and pedestrians on the street at the time of the accident, Directly causing the legal consequences of the death of the victim due to lack of assistance. According to the facts proved by the above evidences, according to the provisions of Article 133 of the criminal law of the people's Republic of China, the defendant's behavior has constituted the crime of traffic accident according to law, and according to the provisions of Article 2, paragraph 1 (1) and Article 5 of the interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues concerning the specific application of laws in the trial of criminal cases of traffic accident (hereinafter referred to as the interpretation), Judging from the subjective and objective aspects of the overall and comprehensive analysis, it belongs to the death caused by escape, rather than the ordinary traffic and transportation accident and escape specified in Article 3 of the interpretation.
2. On the items, standards and amounts of incidental civil compensation
First of all, the relevant evidence provided by the plaintiff in the trial of the incidental civil action proves that the victim's habitual residence and main source of income are both cities. According to the reply of the people's Court of the people's Republic of China on how to calculate the compensation costs for traffic accident injuries and deaths of rural residents whose habitual residence is in cities and towns, the death compensation and other related damage compensation costs of the victim shall be calculated according to the relevant standards of local urban residents. Secondly, the reasonable expenses incurred by the relatives of the victims for handling funeral matters belong to the legal compensation items. Although there are air tickets to and from home and abroad, they belong to the immediate family members. The court should consider the facts and circumstances of the whole case and determine them as appropriate.
3. How to link up and combine the division of liability in incidental civil litigation with the criminal circumstances
1. Starting from the careful inspection of public security files and procuratorial files, we will not miss any details and doubts. Through comprehensive analysis of all the evidence of the case, we will eliminate reasonable doubts and provide sufficient and conclusive basis for conviction and sentencing.
2. In this case, because the defendant escaped by driving, the commercial insurance company was exempted from the liability of compensation according to law.
