The examined person Zhang Dahai lost work period 180 days, nursing period 60 days, and nutrition period 60 days.

Ping An Insurance Company does not agree with the appraisal opinion and does not apply for a re-appraisal.

Zhang Dahai's medical expenses totaled 124,203.41 yuan, of which Zhang Dahai paid 106,203.41 yuan by himself, and Ping An Insurance Company compensated 18,000 yuan within the compensation limit for compulsory motor vehicle insurance medical expenses.

Zhang Dahai claimed 6 months of lost work fee at 9,800 yuan per month, and provided written testimony from witnesses Chen Zhongcai and Zhang Lei. The main content: Zhang Dahai has been raising cars in Beijing since 2004 and pulled rubble and stone, with a monthly income of 9,800 yuan. After the traffic accident on October 17, 2020, Zhang Dahai has not been to the transportation again.

He provided 860 yuan in nucleic acid testing expense documents, and did not provide evidence of the damage to the clothes in the accident.

This court believes that according to the provisions of of the Civil Procedure Law of my country, the parties have the right to defend and cross-examine the evidence submitted by the other party. The defendant Peng Yihao in this case was legally summoned by this court and refused to appear in court to respond without a legitimate reason, which is deemed that he had waived the right to defend and cross-examination.

The traffic management department determined that Zhang Dahai and Peng Yihao were equally responsible.

Regarding Zhang Dahai's losses exceeding compulsory traffic insurance, this court will refer to his or her fault with Peng Yihao and determine that Peng Yihao bears 50% of the responsibility at its discretion.Because the vehicle driven by Peng Yihao was insured by Ping An Insurance Company of 1 million yuan and excluded commercial three-part insurance, Ping An Insurance Company should also compensate according to the insurance contract within the limit of commercial three-part insurance. Peng Yihao shall bear the liability for compensation for Zhang Dahai's losses beyond the insurance coverage.

Now Zhang Dahai claims the reasons for medical expenses, hospitalization food allowances, nutrition expenses, nursing expenses, disability compensation (including living expenses of dependents Zhang Zhenglu and Zhu Fengqin), and appraisal expenses, and this court supports it. Zhang Dahai advocated that the deadline for lost work is appropriate, but the standards are too high. The witness testimony provided by Zhang Dahai is not enough to confirm his income status and loss of work. For the lost work fee standards, this court refers to the personal income tax tax threshold for . The transportation costs claimed by Zhang Dahai are too high, and this court will make a judgment at its discretion. The mental damage compensation claimed by Zhang Dahai is too high. This court determines the discretionary judgment based on the degree of fault between him and Peng Yihao and the consequences of Zhang Dahai's damage. The nucleic acid testing costs incurred by family members taking care of Zhang Dahai in the hospital are necessary expenses incurred in the hospital in accordance with the epidemic prevention requirements of the new crown epidemic. This hospital will support it. This fee should be included in the death and disability compensation project. Zhang Dahai claimed that clothing loss costs and did not provide evidence, and this court did not support it.

After verification, Zhang Dahai's losses were: medical expenses of 124,203.41 yuan, hospital food subsidy of 3,100 yuan, nutrition expenses of 3,000 yuan, nursing expenses of 12,030 yuan, disability compensation (including living expenses of dependents Zhang Zhenglu and Zhu Fengqin) 241,371 yuan, loss of work fee of 30,000 yuan, appraisal fee of 5,450 yuan, transportation fee of 300 yuan, nucleic acid testing fee of 860 yuan, and mental damage compensation of 7,500 yuan.

Ping An Insurance Company's compensation expenses will be included in the compensation amount first and then deducted from the total compensation amount.
