Law Firm Dongin Provides 'Free Legal Services' to Residents Affected by Flood Damage from Yongdam Dam and Seomjingang Dam

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Jiwon] Law firm Dongin announced on the 24th that it will provide free legal consultation services for local governments and residents affected by the flood disasters at Yongdam Dam and Seomjingang Dam.

On the 20th, Dongin established the "Yongdam Dam and Seomjingang Dam Flood Damage Task Force," led by Representative Attorney Lee Seongbo as the head of the support team. The task force lawyers will directly provide legal consultations in the affected areas and recruit plaintiffs to facilitate the convenience of the victims.

If the Ministry of Environment's investigation reveals negligence by Korea Water Resources Corporation, and affected local governments or residents proceed with lawsuits, Dongin plans to actively cooperate with related local governments and residents' organizations to support victims in conducting lawsuits with minimal financial burden.

Attorney Kim Jinhyun, a former chief judge of the Central District Court and the head of the task force, stated, "It may not be easy to prove negligence such as Korea Water Resources Corporation's careless dam management or mistakes, but there are also faults like failure to properly execute evacuation orders." He added, "We will do our best to protect individuals' rights and property by utilizing Dongin's expertise."
