A Study on Cases of Legal Punishment for Construction Accidents

Article Preview

Abstract:

While building technologies have become more advanced, the number of construction disasters has not reduced. One of the fundamental causes is a problem in the legal process, and this needs to be studied in order to seek a solution. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the precedents of construction disasters ruled on by the Korean Supreme Court, and then compare them with cases in other countries. The victims are aware that they did not get appropriate compensation according to the severity of the damages or injuries, and it is concluded that punishment should be imposed on the business owners according to the level of violation of regulations.
