During city travel, some very popular scenic spots are extremely wide in scope. Taking a sightseeing bus to visit is a way to travel that can both save energy and be efficient.
However, when an unexpected situation occurs during the trip, especially when a sightseeing bus is involved in a car accident in a scenic spot, many tourists often fall into panic because they do not know what to do.
The purpose is to allow you to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery and at the same time effectively protect your own rights and interests. Therefore, you should store this practical claim and play guide carefully.
1. Respond calmly: three steps at the accident scene
If you happen to encounter a car accident while taking a sightseeing bus in a scenic spot, the first thing you should do is to ensure your own safety, and take the following measures immediately:
Ask for help immediately and leave a certificate, ask the staff of the scenic spot for help as soon as possible, and call the police (122) and the emergency phone (120).
Under the premise of ensuring safety, use a mobile phone to capture the overall panoramic picture of the accident scene, as well as the specific damage to the vehicle, the license plate number, and the surrounding environmental conditions.
At the same time, record the contact information of witnesses, who may become important witnesses in subsequent rights protection.
2. Keep all tickets : Be sure to keep your scenic spot tickets and sightseeing tickets.
These bills are the most direct proof of the transportation contract between you and the scenic spot, and are also the key basis for subsequent claims.
3. Go to the doctor and keep medical records : Even if you feel that you have only suffered a minor injury, it is still recommended to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to prevent internal injuries in the body.
Be sure to keep all medical records, diagnosis certificates, medical invoices, medication lists, etc.
If the injury requires follow-up consultation or follow-up treatment, the relevant notes must also be kept.
2. Clarify responsibilities: Who should claim compensation?
If an accident occurs while riding a sightseeing bus in a scenic area, the claimant is usually clear.
Directly responsible party: Scenic Area Management Company
When you purchase a ticket to take a sightseeing bus, you establish a service contract relationship with the scenic spot.
The scenic spot has the obligation to deliver you safely to your destination.
In the event of an accident causing personal injury, the scenic spot first formed a breach of contract and should be liable for compensation.
The legal basis is that the sightseeing car driver is a staff member of the scenic spot. According to the law, the compensation liability for the damage caused by him during the work process shall be borne by his employer, that is, the scenic spot management company.
The exemption situations are as follows: If the accident is caused by your own intentional behavior, such as dissatisfaction with management or jumping out of the car privately, then you must bear the corresponding responsibility yourself.
3. Rights protection paths: negotiation and litigation
1. The first choice is negotiation : When the injury is in a stable state and the responsibilities have been clarified, you can first negotiate with the scenic spot management company.
When negotiating, you can clearly and clearly put forward your claim items in accordance with the "Interpretations of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Applicable Law in the Trial of Personal Injury Compensation Cases", which generally include:
Medical expenses : Calculated based on the invoice issued by the hospital.
Lost work pay : Calculated based on your actual income reduction and doctor’s prescribed rest time.
Nursing fees and nutrition fees : determined based on medical advice or the opinions of the appraisal agency.
Disability compensation and mental injury solatium: If the accident causes disability, a judicial appraisal must be carried out and the calculation shall be based on the level of disability.
Appraisal fee : the cost incurred for conducting a disability appraisal.
2. Be good at using legal weapons : If the negotiation fails to achieve results, or there is buck-passing in the scenic spot, it should be resolved through legal channels resolutely and decisively.
Before taking action, it is recommended to consult a professional lawyer and let the lawyer help sort out the evidence, calculate the compensation list, and evaluate the litigation risks, so as to select the solution that is most beneficial to you.
4. Practical travel suggestions
For vehicles used in scenic spots, you must choose sightseeing cars with unified logos and regular operations. You must not ride on "black cars" that have no operating qualifications, or sightseeing cars that are driven without driving qualifications. You must remember that this is a very important selection criterion in the scenic spot.
When riding in a vehicle, you must follow the rules of riding. After getting on the bus, hold on to the handrails. When the vehicle is in motion, do not extend your head or hands outside the vehicle, do not walk around in the vehicle, and do not play or play.
Please note that special groups, the elderly, children, and people with mobility impairments should be accompanied by family members when taking transportation such as cars, airplanes, trains, etc., and try to choose seats with safety features.
Before traveling, you can order a travel accident insurance for yourself and your family to add extra protection to your trip.
Although the journey is beautiful, safety always comes first.
With this practical knowledge in hand, I hope your every trip will be safe and enjoyable.
If you encounter an accident by chance, you must respond calmly and in a rational manner in accordance with laws and regulations to protect your legitimate rights and interests.
