Abstract :
The most important objectives of the present study include finding a legal solution to
prevent the spread of coronavirus, compensation for damages caused by the negligence of
human factors, determining the basis for this responsibility, and the rate of compensation
for these damages. The present study, through library and field studies, made it possible
to compensate for the damage caused by the spread of coronavirus infections. Pollution
caused by a human is one of the most important environmental law challenges. Neglect
of the human factor has caused losses due to the spread of this disease. In the present
study by preparing a researcher-made questionnaire, the opinion of lawyers specializing
in the field of civil responsibility was also inquired. The results of the research show that
by resorting to the "risk theory" and the "fault assumption" basis, the rights of the victims
of the Coronavirus can be better secured. At present, legal systems are not sufficiently
determined to compensate the victims of the Coronavirus. While environmental jurists
believe that strict rules and regulations should be applied to combat the spread of
coronavirus infection and to impose compensation for damages caused by negligence in
observing health standards on its human factors. In Iran, several juridical and legal rules
are a good basis for preventing the spread of coronavirus and human infections.
