Chang and Liao were originallyhigh schoolclassmates, Taiwan News reported.
After entering university, they lost contact for a while but later reconnected.
On January 28, Chang was reportedly sent to theemergencydepartment of Mackay Memorial Hospital in Taiwans capital city.
After more than a week of treatment, both of his legs were reportedly amputated below the knees.
Chang went on to obtain over NT$230,000 ($7,222.30) through insurance claims.
The insurance companies consequently refused to pay out and reported the case to the authorities.
