Two suitcases roll off escalator... Woman injured, 8 weeks to heal (South Korea)
A middle-aged woman suffered injuries that required eight weeks of recovery when a suitcase she was carrying rolled down an escalator.
According to JTBC's "Case Leader" broadcast on the 6th, the victim, A, was arrested on June 27th last year after dinner with her boyfriend.
The accident occurred while Mr. A was on his way home by subway. At around 8:19 pm that day, he was boarding the subway from Magoknaru Station on Subway Line 9 towards Gaehwa Station.
However, when Mr. A reached the halfway point, a middle-aged woman behind him put two large suitcases on the escalator.
When A was trying to load the suitcases, the two suitcases he had loaded first rolled off. At that time, A looked back and before he could avoid them, he was hit by the two suitcases and fell over.
A said that he was pushed down the stairs of the escalator in a curled-up position. "Suddenly, I heard a rumbling sound from behind me, and when I turned around, I saw two really big suitcases," he said.
It looked like it was going to hit me, and I got hit," he said. "For two seconds, so many things went through my mind. Not one, but two fell at the same time, so I didn't have time to avoid them."
Ms. B, the woman who carried the suitcase, said, "I was in the wrong. I feel sorry for someone my daughter's age, and I want to compensate her." However, Ms. A said, "Through my lawyer,
When the plaintiff said, "I will settle the case out of court," Mr. B replied, "I didn't do anything terribly wrong, I just made a mistake, so I can get compensation through the insurance company. I won't use my own money."
In the end, A and B's criminal settlement broke down, and they received about 7 million won (approximately 740,000 yen) through insurance. "The medical expenses were more than 27 million won (approximately 2.8 million yen).
The woman was fined 1 million won (approximately 100,000 yen) for causing injury by negligence." Currently, Mr. A has filed a civil lawsuit against Mr. B. Mr. A said, "I've been in a position for a year because of the woman's mistake.
"The injury medical certificate said I would need at least eight weeks to recover and at least four weeks of psychiatric treatment. I'm lucky I didn't break any bones, but I'm in pain from head to toe," he said.
On the other hand, Mr. B said, "I am truly sorry for the accident that occurred due to my mistake, but Mr. A was not unable to walk, and from my perspective it was a minor accident, so I regret that it seems to have been exaggerated."
"Since the accident, I have also been experiencing great stress to the point that it is interfering with my daily life," she said.
