Our clients typically bear less fault; most of it lies with unscrupulous intermediaries. The greater the fault, the greater the liability for compensation. Regarding this particular incident... two adult women walked their dog without a leash. They asked a minor boy for help. They allowed him to enter the water. Combined with their behavior of leaving afterward, they should bear at least half the blame!
"Only half?" Zhang Qingyuan and the others were somewhat indignant upon hearing this, expressing great incomprehension. In their simple view, this should have been entirely the responsibility of those two women! If they hadn't failed to use a leash, the subsequent accident might not have happened. Their shouting, asking the boy for help, was what led to him entering the river. Now, he was gone. And they only bore half the responsibility?
