Gwangju Seobu Fire Station "Subscribe to No-Fault Fire Liability Insurance for Multi-Use Facilities"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Seobu Fire Station (Chief Lee Cheontak) has provided guidance on subscribing to no-fault fire liability insurance for multi-use facilities.

This measure follows the revision of the "Special Act on Safety Management of Multi-use Facilities" in January, which will take effect on July 6.

Currently, compensation is only provided to victims if the business owner's fault is recognized, so in cases where arson or the cause of fire is not identified, compensation through fire liability insurance was not possible.

However, with the amendment of related laws, insurance payments will be made to victims even in cases without fault, and all business owners of multi-use facilities must subscribe to no-fault fire liability insurance by the law enforcement date of July 6.

For detailed information such as grace periods for multi-use facilities that are temporarily closed, the launch timing of no-fault fire liability insurance products, and how to handle existing insurance expiration before the launch of no-fault liability insurance, inquiries can be made to the local fire station.

Lee Cheontak, Chief of Gwangju Seobu Fire Station, said, "The purpose of this law revision is to expand the scope of compensation to guarantee the public's right to safety, while also increasing the responsibility of multi-use facility owners for autonomous safety management," and added, "We ask for active participation and great interest from all business owners."
