"請(qǐng)打給我的律師"
如果產(chǎn)生糾紛，協(xié)商解決是首選。但在協(xié)商過(guò)程中，不同行為語(yǔ)言的表達(dá)將會(huì)導(dǎo)致截然不同的后果。真的是失之毫厘，謬之千里。也理解了影視劇中“請(qǐng)打給我的律師”的必要性。一起來(lái)看一下這些神奇的規(guī)定吧！
Q
Case 1:
Personal injury action. Plaintiff fell allegedly due to slippery stairs in defendant’s building. To prove negligence, plaintiff offers evidence that, shortly after the accident, defendant installed a surfacing that makes stairs slip-proof. Can this fact be used to prove defendant’s negligence?
原告滑倒后，被告在地面上鋪設(shè)了防滑材料。這個(gè)事實(shí)是否可以用于證明被告之前的過(guò)失？
A
NO.
Subsequent remedial measures made following an injury are not admissible to prove negligence. The purpose of this rule is to encourage the immediate repair of dangerous conditions.
不可以。
在傷害發(fā)生后采取的補(bǔ)救措施不能用于證明被告的過(guò)失。這個(gè)規(guī)則的目的是為了鼓勵(lì)就險(xiǎn)情的及時(shí)補(bǔ)救。
Q
Case 2:
Two cars collide. First driver leaps out of his car and, before second driver can speak, first driver says, “it was all my fault. I should never have let my dog drive. Let’s settle.” Is this statement admissible?
兩輛車撞了。在B司機(jī)什么都沒(méi)有說(shuō)的情況下，A司機(jī)承認(rèn)了他的過(guò)錯(cuò)。A司機(jī)的這個(gè)承認(rèn)是否可以作為證據(jù)準(zhǔn)入，證明他的過(guò)錯(cuò)？
A
YES.
Generally, conduct or statements made in the course of negotiating a compromise are not admissible in any case to prove or disprove the validity or amount of a disputed claim. However, there must first be a claim, either as to liability or as to amount.
可以。
通常情況下，在談判過(guò)程中的稱述是不能用于證明爭(zhēng)議訴求的有效性或者金額的。但是必須以對(duì)方提出主張為前提。如果對(duì)方還沒(méi)有提出任何關(guān)于責(zé)任的或金額的主張，你就已經(jīng)都承認(rèn)了。本來(lái)可以排除的證據(jù)，結(jié)果成為了對(duì)自己不利的證據(jù)。所以發(fā)生了糾紛，還是先保持沉默，避免覆水難收。
Q
Case 3:
Plaintiff falls down stairs in defendant’s building. Defendant visits plaintiff in the hospital and says, “I’ll pay your hospital bill. I shouldn’t have dropped that banana peel on the stairs.” Admissible?
原告受傷，被告說(shuō)我不應(yīng)該亂扔香蕉皮，我會(huì)支付你的住院費(fèi)的。如何作為證據(jù)準(zhǔn)入？
A
Evidence that a party has paid or offered to pay an injured person’s medical is inadmissible to prove liability for the injury. However, admission of fact accompanying such payments and offers are admissible.
“我會(huì)付你住院費(fèi)的”不能用于證明過(guò)錯(cuò)責(zé)任。但是伴隨著的“我不應(yīng)該亂扔香蕉皮”是可以用于證明過(guò)錯(cuò)責(zé)任的。所以不要亂承諾，你的好意會(huì)成為利劍反殺。
感
看完這些規(guī)定，是不是已經(jīng)云里霧里了。雖然只是冰山一角，但頓時(shí)覺(jué)得在發(fā)生民事糾紛后，也同樣需要保持沉默并打給自己的律師，這才是王道。
