(1) You caught him as a self-help behavior permitted by law, and you called the police in time after you caught him as a self-help behavior permitted by law.
(2) You pushed him backward. Although he hurt his leg, because he "put his hand on your neck first, and then lifted you up", your behavior belongs to self-defense, and your responsibility should be reduced or exempted according to law: both criminal responsibility (if it constitutes a crime) and civil responsibility should be reduced or exempted.
(3) You didn't intentionally or negligently hurt him (because you couldn't have foreseen his leg injury, there was no negligence), so you won't bear criminal responsibility. "Litigation" is only civil compensation: it will not be "sentenced"! ! ! Moreover, civil compensation should be reduced or exempted because of his previous tort.
The key is that everything you say should be supported by evidence. Are everything you said truthfully recorded in the police station's transcript? Is it written exactly as you said? You should find a chance to see it. In addition, you should first find your taxi driver friend, and when you talk to him or other people in the village, you will be fooled by the other person who didn't give money. You just fell and hurt your leg. His leg was originally injured, so that it can be used as evidence in case of litigation in the future.
3. If you go to court, the items and amount you should compensate him may be:
(1) treatment fee 13 180 (cross 14000 Yuan You should be about the same.
(2) Lost time: It is only the loss of lost time during his hospitalization. The lost time after discharge can't be that he said he would close the hospital in one and a half years, and he had to have a hospital certificate to rest for one and a half years (generally, the injury is not particularly serious, and the hospital won't issue a one-and-a-half-year delay certificate).
He has a fixed income, according to the actual income; If he has no fixed income, it shall be calculated according to his average income in the last three years; If he can't prove his average income in the last three years, it shall be calculated with reference to the average wages of employees in the same industry or similar industries where the Court of Appeal is located.
Therefore, "one and a half years' lost time in 50 yuan totals 27,000 every day" is hard to get court support.
(3) After that, the steel plate fee is 7,000 yuan: it should be the scope of compensation.
(4) Other escort expenses, meals and transportation expenses: His "escort expenses, meals and transportation expenses" for this hospitalization have been paid in your14,000 yuan, which is beyond words. The escort fee, meal fee and transportation fee for the second operation will not be too much, because the longest hospitalization time is 15 days.
Disability fees must be paid together with the disability appraisal results. Without the appraisal conclusion, you can't say disability compensation.
4. You can calculate the cost yourself. Except for the 14000 you have already paid, the rest will definitely not reach 48,000 yuan. And if you really go to the court, if you have evidence to prove that he refuses to pay compensation, he will mix you up first. His leg was originally injured, and your liability for compensation will definitely be reduced or exempted. Just calculate whether you will lose.
5. Recommendations:
(1) First of all, collect evidence that can prove what happened, including witness testimony (you can secretly record it, including your fellow driver and his villagers, but it may be difficult to get your driver's friends to testify for you because they are villagers, but if you talk to him secretly, he may tell the truth, and secretly recording is enough, plus other villagers' recordings and police station transcripts) and police station transcripts.
(2) If you can't negotiate with them, let them sue and make it public. Things can't get worse. At least there should be no criminal responsibility. Even if it is classified as negligent injury, you must be seriously injured to have criminal responsibility.
