How did the boy get hit by a falling flowerpot?

August 17 It is reported that a passerby was injured by a falling object in the alley opposite Jianshan Company in yuhu district Province at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The reporter of "This is Xiangtan" rushed to the scene at the first time. We got news from the Central Hospital this morning that the boy did not survive and died at 5: 00 a.m.12.

The doctor told us that the boy's skull had been smashed open the moment he was hit by a flowerpot. Due to serious injuries, after more than 9 hours of rescue, he was still not rescued. The cause of death was acute open skull injury.

I didn't expect such bad news. Besides being sad, we want to know how to make similar tragedies never happen again!

The incident happened in an old house in the 1980s. No property, no one to repair. The flowerpot has been left for many years and no one has touched it.

According to the police of Yuhu Road Police Station, the fifth floor of the incident was temporarily uninhabited. It is speculated that the flowerpot fell because the cement fell off and the flowerpot was smashed together. The boy who was smashed is eleven years old this year. He has just finished his lessons in a training school. When he reached the road where the accident happened, a flowerpot fell from the fifth floor and hit the boy on the head.

Lawyer Liu Pan of Hunan Xiangjian Law Firm introduced that falling objects from high altitude is a special tort, which belongs to presumption of fault. For falling objects, the principle of inversion of proof is adopted, and the infringer generally only needs to bear civil liability. If it is a high-altitude parabolic object, causing serious injury or death, it may constitute a criminal offence. If it is intentional or gross negligence, it may be suspected of intentional injury or negligence causing death.

So, what should I do if I can't verify the perpetrators? According to the Tort Liability Law, if an object thrown or falling from a building causes damage to others, and it is difficult to determine the specific infringer, in addition to proving that he is not an infringer, the user of the building who may cause damage shall be compensated. That is to say, in the case that the infringer cannot be verified, the residents of the relevant units will "sit together", that is, the residents who may cause damage will be liable for compensation to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the victims.
