- Asbestos: Caught Between Technological Development and the Threat of Civil Liability. The Italian Experience and an Approach to Colombian Law* OLENKA WOOLOOTT LAURA CECILIA GAMARRA-AMAYA Derecho damage Asbestos causation compensation civil liability In Colombia, Law 1968 of 2019 banned the use of asbestos in the national territory. This legal breakthrough was years in the making. However, the allocation of liability against those who exposed others to asbestos, and the assessment of damages for plaintiffs who suffered asbestos related injuries is not addressed in the law. This research paper in comparative civil law attempts to answer the liability question based on the Italian experience and small jurisprudential steps taken by the Colombian bench. In doing so, the causal link in traditional civil liability and the criteria for imputation or attribution of strict liability applicable to asbestos victims are examined. The results of the research find it advisable to adapt the traditional elements of the assumption of responsibility to the demands for compensation in the face of asbestos related damages in the contemporary cases, taking into account presumptions that can be entered into evidence. 2022 artículo científico 0123-4366 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=417572654010 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4175/417572654010/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4175/417572654010/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4175/417572654010/417572654010.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4175/417572654010/movil 10.18601/01234366.n43.11 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4175 Revista de Derecho Privado application/pdf Universidad Externado de Colombia Revista de Derecho Privado (Colombia) Num.43
