On 16 April 2014, the Sewol Ferry sank off the coast of Jindo, Korea, resulting in the deaths of 304 passengers. The Korean government enacted the ‘Sewol Ferry Special Act’ to provide special forms of compensation to victims by the State. It permits the Korean government to subrogate the claims of the victims and to take action against the private persons and public agencies at fault for the sinking of the Sewol. But problems have arisen because of the complexities of insurance law and the difficulties of identifying the respective degrees of fault between the responsible parties.

韩国世越渡轮灾难：责任和赔偿问题

2014 年 4 月 16 日，世越轮渡在韩国珍岛海域沉没，造成 304 名乘客死亡。韩国政府颁布了“世越渡轮特别法”，以提供国家对受害者的特殊形式的赔偿。它允许韩国政府代位求偿受害者的主张，并对在世越号沉没事件中负有过错的私人和公共机构采取行动。但由于保险法的复杂性以及责任方之间各自的过错程度难以确定，问题就出现了。
