Determination of the amount of compensation for personal injury to another person caused by tort

Compensation for personal injury refers to the civil legal relief system where the tortfeasor bears financial compensation for his act that harms the life and health rights and interests of another person, and causes injury, disability, death or other consequences. According to the provisions of Tort Liability Law, where a tort causes any personal injury to another person, the tortfeasor shall compensate the victim for the reasonable costs and expenses for treatment and rehabilitation, such as medical treatment expenses, nursing fees and travel expenses, as well as the lost wages. If the victim suffers any disability, the tortfeasor shall also pay the costs of disability assistance equipment for the living of the victim and the disability indemnity. If it causes the death of the victim, the tortfeasor shall also pay the funeral service fees and the death compensation. Where the same tort causes the deaths of several persons, an equal amount of death compensation may be determined.
