Car crashes in hotel mechanical parking lot, kills... to "pay 900 million."

It has been ruled that the hotel is responsible for compensating the bereaved family for the accident in which the driver died after a vehicle fell from a mechanical parking lot of the hotel in Jeju.

The Suwon District Court ruled that the hotel should pay 950 million won in compensation in a lawsuit filed by victim A's bereaved family.

The court judged that the hotel's negligence was greater, citing the fact that the hotel did not have a parking lot manager and that it did not install at least three waiting stops for cars in mechanical parking lots under the current law.

On September 11, 2021, Mr. A died after falling 7.3 meters down in the mechanical parking lot of this hotel, and the bereaved family claimed 960 million won in damages.

At that time, A stopped the vehicle at the entrance of the mechanical parking lot and got off for a while, then got back into the driver's seat when the vehicle moved, and the car broke the parking lot door and crashed.
