Two people in Nanling, Anhui Province were killed by lightning. Is there compensation for being killed by lightning?

Lightning weather is a common natural weather phenomenon in daily life. Lightning usually damages circuit facilities and other buildings, and may even cause casualties. Especially in June-August, due to frequent thunderstorm activities, accidents are likely to occur if you are not careful. At about 7: 30 pm on August 26th, a lightning strike injured people in Nanling Square, Jishan Town, Nanling County, Anhui Province. Two of them were seriously injured after being struck by lightning and died unfortunately.

Whether there is compensation for being struck by lightning depends on whether the victim bought personal accident insurance or life insurance before his death. If you buy these accident insurance, you can seek compensation from the insurance company after being struck by lightning. If you don't buy insurance, there are some ways to compensate. If the worker was killed by lightning during working hours and workplace, he can seek compensation from the work unit after the accident.

Because during this period, workers are accidentally injured in performing their duties, which belongs to the category of work-related injuries, and of course they can seek compensation from their work units. In addition, you can also claim compensation from the employer. If the employees employed by the employer are unfortunately struck by lightning while providing outdoor labor activities in thunderstorm weather, they can also ask the employer to compensate them.

In addition, there are relevant units or people who have the obligation to protect the safety of victims, such as the operators of scenic spots, squares or other public places. Because they didn't take the responsibility to ensure the safety of the victims during this period, to a certain extent, they should also make appropriate compensation for the victims who suffered from lightning strikes. For example, the accidental death caused by lightning strike in Nanling Square, Anhui Province, can be claimed by the manager, but if the manager fulfills his safeguard obligations and has no misconduct, he does not have to bear relevant legal responsibilities.
