Judgment
The main sentence of Article 3 of the Guarantee of Automobile Accident Compensation Act provides that "a person who operates an automobile for his/her own sake shall be liable to compensate for the damages caused by the death or injury of another person due to the operation of the automobile shall be liable to compensate for the damages in principle."
However, in a lawsuit seeking confirmation of the existence of a pecuniary obligation, if the plaintiff, who is the debtor, claims first, denies the facts causing the obligation by specifying the first claim, the defendant, as the creditor, bears the responsibility to assert and prove the facts required for the legal relationship (see Supreme Court Decision 97Da45259, Mar. 13, 1998). As such, the defendant bears the responsibility to assert and prove that the defendant sustained the injury caused by the accident in this case.
The written evidence No. 5 and No. 7 are added to the purport of the whole pleadings.
