After boarding, she stood by the door. When the bus stopped at the Telecom Bureau station and opened the door, she fell off the bus backwards, causing injuries to her head, waist, and arm. Ms. Wang said she had approached the Bajiu Transportation Company for a resolution, but to no avail, so she filed a lawsuit demanding compensation of more than 17,000 yuan. The Bajiu Transportation Company stated that the team leader was no longer working for the company and did not hand over this situation, thus they do not acknowledge Ms. Wang's injury from falling, and claimed that Ms. Wang never approached them for compensation. The court found out that Ms. Wang had reported the incident to the police on the day it happened, and also provided the public transportation card number, proving that she had taken bus No. 920 on the day of the incident, therefore the court recognized the fact of Ms. Wang's fall. The court finally ruled that the Yanqing branch of the Bajiu Transportation Company should compensate Ms. Wang with more than 15,000 yuan.

Yesterday, it was learned that the First Intermediate People's Court ruled that the transport company should compensate Ms. Wang with more than 15,000 yuan.
