[lawyer's opinion] in this case, the plaintiff sued each defendant for tort liability and compensation, but did not sue a construction company that employed him. After accepting the entrustment of the defendant Wang Mou Da (the owner of the crane), the agent found that a construction company had paid the defendant Wang Mou Da several times for the rental of the crane according to the facts of the case and guiding the parties to collect evidence. After the vehicle accident, the legal representative of a construction company signed an agreement with the defendant Wang Mou DA in his personal name to repair the crane for the defendant Wang Mou da. Accordingly, the agent claims to add a construction company as the defendant of the case.
In this case, a construction company hired the defendant Wang to reach its contracted site "XX pump station" for hoisting construction. According to the business habits of the crane industry, this behavior should be crane leasing, but the two parties have not signed a lease contract. The agent studied the case and went to the crane industry to understand and analyze the situation, and collected relevant cases from various parties. Based on this, the agent excluded the contracting relationship between the Lin construction company and the defendant Wang Mou Da, and confirmed that a construction company and Wang Mou Da had an employment or lease relationship. And put forward the following agency opinions:
1、 The plaintiff claims that the division of responsibility for the accident is unclear, and the lessee or the employer of the crane shall bear the main responsibility for the accident. According to relevant laws, regulations and rules, the crane shall be operated by the crane crew with the ground commander. The cranes owned by Wang Mou DA were first commanded by unqualified ground Commanding Personnel arranged by a Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. in Shenyang. In the later period, a construction company did not provide ground Commanding Personnel for crane operation, and such actions were all improper operations. Therefore, as of the time of the infringement accident in this case, a construction company has the actual right of use, control and command of the accident crane, and has major negligence in the accident, and it shall bear the main responsibility for the accident.
2、 The injured person and his / her subordinate units shall bear certain responsibilities. Although Liu Yiyin (the deceased) is the infringed, he is also responsible for the accident. Liu, as a worker working on the construction site, should receive safety education before entering the construction site. As a common sense, "no person is allowed to stand under the jib of the crane during operation". In the event of an accident, the respondent still works under the jib of the crane under the condition that the crane owned by the respondent has a clear warning sign "no person is allowed to stand under the jib". Liu Yiyin (the deceased) and his subordinate units have unshirkable responsibility for the accident.
3、 The cause of death of Liu Yiyin (the deceased) is unknown, and it cannot be proved that there is a direct causal relationship with the accident. In this case, Liu Yin filed a lawsuit to the people's Court of Heping District of Shenyang on November 29, 2017, and submitted an application for disability identification and nursing dependency level identification to the court on March 16, 2018. The application stated that at that time, "the injury was stable, the treatment was ended, and there was no need for follow-up treatment". It can be seen that although he was disabled at that time, his condition was stable and there was no life-threatening. According to Liu's death certificate and relevant evidence, he died at home on June 27, 2018 with an unknown cause.
In this case, as the agent of the defendant Wang, he comprehensively analyzed the case, understood the trading habits in the industry, and provided satisfactory legal services for the parties. After the trial of the second instance, the judgment result of the first instance was still maintained, which was praised by the parties.
