Seeking for advice

alliexander

Hello po! I just would like to hear your opinions regarding what happened to my husband and his co-workers/housemates last month. They are all on 457 visa arrived on Australia last January. They bought a car para may service sila 4 at nakapangalan yun kay Housemate A, sya daw kasi ang bibili nun once na nagka budget na sya. Unfortunately nalipat ng branch si Housemate A. Kaya nagpasama sya sa husband ko and the rest na titingin daw sya ng service nya. Hanggang sa nag aya na sya sa coty at namasyal sila. Nung pauwi na sila binaba nila yung isa nilang kasama sa friend nito so 3 na lang sila and they met an accident. Dere derecho kasi tong si Housemate A kahit na sinabihan na sila nung isa nilang kasamahan na red light na. And ayun nga may nakabanggaan sila na isa pang kotse. Nasa likod ang husband ko at sya pa yung pinakamaraming injuries, sya pinakamatagal sa hospital but thank god na lang talaga at okay na sya ngayon. So here is the dilemma. May dumating ng letter sa kanila and may pinapabayaran na 21K AUD dahil dun sa naaksidente nila. Before that letter came I told my husband na magbigay ng tulong kung ano lang ang makakaya namin dun kay Housemate A. Ngayon ang mangyayari maghahati hati sila sa gastos? Tama ba na maghahati hati sila sa gastos? May law ba ang Australia about this? Medyo di kasi kami nagkakaintindihan ng hubby ko now since sa totoo lang hindi po birong halaga yun at yung hubby ko out of the four of them affected pa sa changes since nawala ang occupation nya sa skilled list. Ano po ba ang magandang gawin dito? Yung kasama naman nila mukhang walang imik, gusto pa yata ipaako sa mga kasamahan nya yung kapabayaan nya. Sorry po medyo stressed out lang ako. I need your opinions po.

@alliexander ; i am not a lawyer, pero madami na ko nabasa na ganyang situation.

basically, whoever is behind the wheel has the ultimate responsibility of the car.

lets get another example, if a passenger didnt wear a seatbelt, penalty and demerit points goes against the driver , not the passenger.


another example, recently happened in sydney;

(true but sad story) on the way to work, 4 mates got into accident.
Driver survived but one of the passenger died.
The family of the passenger is exercising legal actions against the driver.
kasalanan ba ng passenger sa masamang sinapit nya?



but to answer your question:

sino dapat magbayad, dapat ba kayo tumulong???

usapang magkaibigan na yan.
