It is true that it had been substantially strenuous for consumers to repair/exchange/return faulty products with safety defects, or to receive compensation for damages in case of loss of lives/bodily injuries, or damages to property. This was due to the difficulties in demonstrating that such owed to “manufacturer’s negligence”, as required under the Civil Act. However, since the Product Liability Act took effect on July 1, 2002, consumers have been entitled to a higher level of remedies, only having to prove “defects in a product”, rather than “manufacturer’s negligence”.
Experts at ClassHankyul specializing in resolving product liability disputes strive to offer the best legal advice and the best services in procedures of litigation, mediation, arbitration and cooperation and coordination with relevant institutions, to resolve disputes connected to product defect liabilities arising under Product Liability Act and the general Civil Act.
