Lawyer Ahn Young-jin argues, based on court rulings, that insurance companies do not always win lawsuits over damages from battery fires. Courts often dismiss claims if the direct causal link between the defendant's actions (manufacturer, installer, repairer) and the fire is not proven. For instance, in a converted motorhome case, a court rejected a 140 million won claim because the battery was old and not supplied by the defendant. In another case involving an e-scooter, the claim was dismissed due to non-original parts and a charger.
