What Is the Korea State Compensation Claim Calculator?

This calculator estimates damages, court cost, lawyer-fee exposure, review-board settlement range, and net expected recovery for Korean state compensation claims involving illegal official acts, public facility defects, omissions, and military or police duty incidents.

The English calculator reuses the Korean state-compensation function. It keeps Korean claim amount, party count, court level, electronic filing discount, lost-income calculation, Hoffmann coefficient, consolation money, medical and care cost, property loss, business loss, and victim-fault deduction.

Important Note

State compensation claims are proof-driven. Preserve the administrative decision, accident report, facility defect proof, medical record, photos, complaint history, and causal-link evidence before filing with a review board or court.

Important Numeric Standards

  • Small-claim threshold is KRW 30 million in the Korean source model.
  • Electronic filing discount is 10 percent for the stamp-fee component where applied.
  • Service fee is KRW 5,500 per round, and first-instance small claims use fewer service rounds than ordinary litigation.
  • Monthly income is entered in manwon units in the Korean model, so 300 means KRW 3,000,000 per month.
  • Future lost income uses the Hoffmann coefficient table based on remaining work years.

Procedure Strategy

A state compensation review board can be cheaper and faster than litigation, but complex causation, high-value injury, death, facility-maintenance disputes, or contested official illegality may still require court proceedings.

The calculator separates court fee from lawyer retainer and success-fee expectations so the user can compare board settlement, first-instance lawsuit, appeal, and Supreme Court risk without losing the damages baseline.

FAQ

Does public authority involvement automatically create liability?

No. The claim still needs illegality or facility defect, damage, causation, and a defensible amount.

Why does the calculator show a review-board range?

The Korean model recognizes that many state compensation matters are first presented to a state compensation review board before or instead of full litigation.

Legal Use Notice

This English page translates and adapts the Korean calculator content for Korea-based estimates. The interactive calculator reuses the same Korean pure calculation function as the Korean page, so the numerical result is aligned with the Korean service. It is an estimation tool, not legal advice for a specific dispute.
