过劳死法律救济的局限与完善

Limitation and Perfection of Legal Relief of Karoshi

过劳死在本质上是一种职业伤害,目前已成为一种严重的社会现象。从我国司法实践来界定过劳死并探求过劳死救济的权利基础是推进过劳法律规制的前提。从理论和实践两方面来看,我国现行制度下对过劳死的救济途径有工伤赔偿和民事侵权两种,但均有其局限性。完善过劳死的法律救济应将过劳死纳入工伤救济中、明确过劳的标准并完善过劳死工伤认定相关制度。

Karoshi is essentially a form of occupational injury and has now become a serious social phenomenon.From the perspective of China's judicial practice,the author of this paper defines karoshi and explores the right's basis of karoshi relief,which is the premise of promoting the legal regulation.In addition,in view of theory and practice,there are two ways for the relief of karoshi under the current system in China,including work injury compensation and civil tort and both of them have limitations.In order to improve the legal relief of karoshi,death from overwork ought to be brought into the system of work injury relief,the standard of overwork should be defined explicitly and the relevant system of karoshi identification should also be improved.
