Hello, I'm asking about whether industrial accident damages are possible. I'm a full-time employee. Recently I had an accident at the factory where my hand got caught, and as a result, one of my fingers was amputated. I did receive industrial accident compensation, but I learned that I can also pursue a damages claim lawsuit separate from industrial accident insurance compensation. How do I proceed with an industrial accident damages lawsuit, and how much can I receive?

The crime of evidence destruction is a crime stipulated in Article 155 of the Criminal Act, and refers to the act of intentionally destroying or hiding evidence that may affect a trial.

For example, it includes acts of intentionally deleting or damaging documents, photos, audio recordings, digital data, etc. to conceal evidence.

Such acts are considered intentional acts to eliminate evidence that may have an important impact on the resolution of the case, and are treated as criminal acts.

The crime of evidence destruction can be punished with imprisonment of up to 5 years or a fine of up to 7 million won.

If evidence destruction has affected the seriousness of the case, the punishment may become heavier.

Since attempting to destroy evidence can result in very serious legal consequences, it is important to thoroughly comply with legal procedures and the protection of evidence.
