Chapter 1044: Lawyer Defending Evildoers 26
"At the workstation, I heard that they worked an extra night shift and were gone in the morning."
Sun Xiangyang curled his lips as he spoke, "The company above insisted on paying 200,000 yuan, saying that the employee was already ill and it wasn't the company's fault."
"How stingy."
He is quite stingy.
Someone died suddenly at his workstation, and they only gave him 200,000 yuan.
It would be strange if this didn't cause a commotion.
Shu Jiao thought.
"At this price, the employee's family definitely won't accept a private settlement. I heard they're planning to sue the company. Lawyer Shu, can you handle this case?"
Sun Xiangyang had no other intentions.
Shu Jiao took great pains to rescue him, and he was grateful to Shu Jiao in his heart.
He thought that it should be the same in every industry, and all that matters is performance.
Isn't this a good opportunity?
Since we have to hire a lawyer anyway, we might as well give Shu Jiao a performance report.
She was able to argue her way to acquittal by getting herself sentenced to life imprisonment, so wouldn't it be easy for her to fight a compensation case like this?
Shu Jiao: ...
Thank you so much for your appreciation.
Is it possible that these two cases are completely unrelated?
Shu Jiao: "Can you contact the person involved? The case can be prosecuted, but it depends on the specific circumstances."
"Sure, I just asked for their contact information."
Sun Xiangyang added, "Then I'll have them contact you later."
"Row."
After hanging up the phone, Shu Jiao chuckled helplessly.
Who would have thought that lawyers who handle lawsuits would have repeat clients recruiting new clients!
Strange.
On the other end, Sun Xiangyang immediately called Ma Yuan, a friend he had just met today. "I asked, and Lawyer Shu said he can answer."
"Let me tell you, Lawyer Shu is amazing."
"I was nearly sentenced to life imprisonment, but she bailed me out for only 150,000 yuan, and even helped me earn over 40,000 yuan. She's sure to win..."
"Ahh~"
Shu Jiao, unaware that Sun Xiangyang was bragging about her behind her back, silently turned up the air conditioner by one degree.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the unknown number called.
"Shu, Lawyer Shu?"
The voice on the other end sounded hoarse and vicissitudes of life. "My last name is Ma, and my name is Ma Yuan, that's my son, he, he..."
As he spoke, Ma Yuan's voice began to choke.
"The deceased is gone, and as his family, you must seek justice for him."
Seeing that he was not very emotional, Shu Jiao tried to comfort him and then asked, "How long ago did he leave?"
"On the 3rd. We just received a call from the hospital on the 3rd saying that he couldn't be saved and was gone."
Ma Yuan's voice trembled. "Lawyer, my son was in good health. How could he suddenly die? He, he..."
Number 3?
Today is the 6th, and only three days have passed.
"Has the autopsy report come out yet?"
Shu Jiao asked.
"Not yet. But the night my son died, we asked him when he would be back for dinner, and he said he had to work overtime. He must have died suddenly from working overtime!"
Ma Yuan was very emotional. "I told him not to go to work. He's been at that company for half a month and worked overtime for eight days!"
"What good person can stand such torture?"
Only been gone for half a month?
Shu Jiao frowned, having a bad feeling——
I'm afraid this case is not that easy to handle.
"How about this."
Shu Jiao reviewed the cases on hand and the recent timeline. "I'm going to Province D tomorrow and we'll meet and talk."
This kind of thing cannot be slow.
If we slow down, there's no guarantee that the company will be able to come up with any response or remedial measures.
"But the legal fees for your case may not be low."
Shu Jiao said again.
"Okay, okay."
Ma Yuan nodded, "It's just... Lawyer Shu, how much compensation can the company give me for my son's condition?"
"The main reason is that our family doesn't have much savings..."
He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to afford the lawyer's fees.
"It depends on the situation. Let's talk about it when we meet."
I couldn't tell clearly on the phone.
Shu Jiao quickly bought a flight ticket to Province D and arrived early the next morning. She was greeted by two relatives of the deceased with swollen eyes and half of their hair white.
Two pairs of bloodshot, tired, old eyes looked at her with grief.
Shu Jiao looked at them and couldn't help but sigh.
Sometimes human life is really too fragile.
"I'm Shu Jiao."
Shu Jiao nodded lightly, "Let's go, find a place to talk in detail."
After thinking about it and seeing no other place, Shu Jiao followed the two elders directly home to chat.
Ma Yuan and his wife are almost sixty years old.
I have only one son.
My son is 31 years old. He met a girlfriend through a blind date and was planning to get married at the end of the year, but now... she is gone.
The children and grandchildren around me and the happy family have all become scattered bubbles.
"Your son has only been working at the company for half a month?"
Shu Jiao asked.
"Yes. The original company said it went bankrupt and couldn't operate, so he lost his job. He's new to this company and has only been working there for two weeks. He only has one day off a week."
Ma Yuan said.
"Have you paid social security? Have you signed an employee contract?"
Shu Jiao continued to ask.
"The new company doesn't pay for social security."
Ma Yuan's face was filled with pain, and his eyes were filled with despair. "The contract hasn't been signed yet. We went to the company the day before yesterday, and the boss said my son didn't sign a contract and was just a temporary worker."
"Temporary workers are not considered work-related injuries, so they are willing to pay 200,000 yuan."
Two hundred thousand, just to buy his son's life.
That's his son's life!
The company is dreaming!
He would never agree to it.
Oh ~
Shu Jiao suddenly raised her eyebrows——
Not paying social security?
The company will pay full compensation.
As for whether temporary workers are temporary workers or not, and whether it is considered an occupational injury, these are not issues that can be determined by the company's lip service.
However, there is indeed a lot of room for debate on the other side.
The case is not easy to handle!
Shu Jiao: "Is overtime a serious problem?"
“I basically work overtime every day.”
"Did he send you any photos of him working overtime? Was he working overtime alone, or was there someone else with him?"
“Yes, I sent photos…”
Just as Shu Jiao was asking for details, Ma Yuan's phone suddenly rang.
He smiled embarrassedly at Shu Jiao and then answered the phone.
"Hey, who is it?"
"Is that Mr. Ma Yuanma?"
Hearing this, Shu Jiao quickly realized something and immediately turned on the recording.
Unsurprisingly.
The next sentence on the other side is——
"I'm the secretary of the boss of Xunshe Company. Have you thought about the compensation for Ma Zhining? Two hundred thousand is not a low amount..."
A seemingly gentle but actually aggressive male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Give us some time, let's sign the contract as soon as possible."
"Sign the contract sooner and you can bury your son sooner, right?"
"I don't accept it! I don't accept it!"
Ma Yuan immediately roared.
"I advise you to think carefully about it, otherwise you won't get a penny."
The other party's attitude instantly turned cold. "Your son is not a formal employee of our company, but a temporary worker. Our company doesn't even need to compensate him."
"It's just that our boss is kind and willing to compensate you a little money."
Shu Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly.
This statement is only meant to fool the elderly who don't know the law and have little education.
Hearing this, Ma Yuan looked at Shu Jiao in panic.
