<Anchor> In the
future, a bill will be proposed by the National Assembly that prevents the other party from claiming repair costs if an accident occurs due to drinking, unlicensed, or hit-and-run. Under the current law, even if an accident occurs due to gross negligence by the perpetrator, victims have to compensate according to the ratio of responsibility, and this is to improve the issue of equity.
This is Yoo Soo-hwan.
<Reporter> A
black box vehicle running on the 1st lane, and a white vehicle from the 3rd lane on the right suddenly hit the 1st lane and came in.
[Oh! what! What is this car, this!]
Cross the center line.
It was 12 gross negligence due to the invasion of the center line, but the white car side claimed that 20% of the black box car was also negligent.
In this case, 100% of the perpetrator's responsibility was admitted to the court.
[Park Jin-woo/National Rent-A-Car Mutual Aid Association Compensation Manager: Even though I am a victim, there are cases where I have to pay more damages (unfortunate)... .] As
the allegation that it is against equity continues, an amendment to the law reflecting this is submitted to the National Assembly.
In the event of an accident caused by 12 gross negligence by the offending vehicle, it is not possible to claim any repair costs from the damaged vehicle.
[Park Sang-hyuk/ Democratic Party Member (National Land Committee): It is true that the case of the 12 gross negligence is very likely to lead to personal and material accidents.]
However, some point out that even if the perpetrator falls under the 12th gross negligence, there may be cases where the victim's negligence may be small, so it is necessary to prepare precise standards.
Therefore, if the victim is also the 12th generation of gross negligence, a proposal to exclude from the application of the law is expected to be discussed during the legislative process.
