Abstract

Civil liability has been and still is one of the most important, vital and controversial civil law systems, and perhaps the importance of civil liability is due to its connection with a very sensitive issue, which is the issue of compensation for damages, as the latter is rightly the cause of every development that has occurred in the civil liability system since ancient times to the present day, as the damage represents an attack on human, social and economic value. There is no doubt that the scientific development and the development of technology, in modern societies, which is due to happiness and bliss, is offset by new and serious risks. This scientific development and technological development has been a source of new types of accidents whose breadth is commensurate with the good quality of technology, and this contradiction is not due to the defect of technology or it is bad, but because it is very good, because the large number of risks is extremely rare but an accident with the complexity of advanced technology is a disaster in the true sense.
