AbstractThe objective of civil liability is to provide compensation for damages. Civil liability represents an explicit expression for the resolution of disputes that arise between the parties involved in a legal relationship, regardless of their source. It exists for the purpose of resolving such disputes, based on objective analysis, distancing itself from social and economic factors that led to contractual obligations, negligence, or legal mandates. Based on this objective, occasional legislative intervention becomes necessary to reconsider these provisions in terms of their cause and effect, especially within the context of economic and social transformation from traditional forms to more complex and evolving forms, in light of the industrial revolution and advancements in modern technology. Sustainable development has emerged, along with environmental issues, noise pollution, occupational safety, defective products, and new developments in nuclear damage. In this context, we delve into the subject matter according to the outlined plan below.
