女子小区散步被落叶砸中，构成十级伤残，法院判了
双语君约 3 分钟据报道，广东珠海居民谭某在小区散步时突遭横祸。行至泳池旁时，上方大王椰树叶片骤然坠落，重重砸中她的背部，导致谭某胸椎、腰椎骨折，经鉴定构成十级伤残。
A routine walk around a residential compound in Zhuhai, Guangdong province, turned into a life-altering accident for a local resident when a giant leaf from a royal palm tree suddenly fell and struck her on the back. The impact caused fractures to her thoracic and lumbar spine, which were later assessed as a grade‑10 disability.
事故发生后，谭某认为物业公司长期疏于管理，致使事故发生，遂将物业公司诉至法院，索赔医疗费、残疾赔偿金等各项损失。
The resident, surnamed Tan, filed a lawsuit against the property management company, alleging that its long‑term neglect of the trees had directly led to the incident. Tan sought compensation for medical expenses, disability benefits, and other related losses.
物业公司则主张树叶脱落属于不可预见的意外事件，且公司在事发前已采取了防护措施，设置过锥桶和警戒线，已尽到了管理义务，不应承担赔偿责任。
The property company argued that the falling leaf was an unforeseeable accident, and that it had already taken preventive measures — including placing cones and warning tape around the area — before the incident, thereby fulfilling its duty of care.
法院判决：
物业公司未能证明已尽到管理义务
赔偿4万余元
法院审理认为，案件焦点在于物业公司能否证明自身在事件中“没有过错”，即已尽到合理的管理义务，包括定期巡查修剪，设置警示标识和防护措施，及时处理安全隐患等。根据法律规定，因林木折断、倾倒或果实坠落造成他人损害，林木的所有人或管理人不能证明自己没有过错的，应当承担侵权责任。
The court focused on whether the company could prove it had acted without fault. Under Chinese law, if a tree's branch breaks and falls — or if its fruit drops and causes injury, the owner or manager is liable unless they can demonstrate they were not at fault. Reasonable management duties include regular inspections and pruning, proper signage, and timely removal of hazards.
本案中，物业公司提交了五张照片，显示其在树木上张贴了警示，并设置了锥桶和警戒线。然而照片拍摄的时间是4、5月，事发时在6月，鉴于锥桶和警戒线的可移动性，无法认定事发时防护措施仍然在位且能有效警示行人。且作为监控管理者，物业公司未能提供事发时的监控录像或其他证据证明其已尽到管理义务，应承担举证不能的不利法律后果。
由于物业公司未能完成举证，且受害人对本次损害发生没有任何过错，故物业公司应承担本案全部侵权责任。
最终，法院判决物业公司赔偿医疗费、护理费、鉴定费和残疾赔偿金等共计4万余元。
Since the property company failed to provide sufficient evidence that it had met these obligations, and since the victim bore no responsibility for the accident, the court ruled that the company was fully liable.
It was ordered to pay Tan over 40,000 yuan in total compensation, covering medical bills, nursing fees, appraisal costs and disability payments.
