Two months after a ferry accident killed nearly 300 people in South Korea, the first damages suit – seeking 30 million won ($30,000) compensation from the government and the Chonghaejin Marine Co. – was filed by the mother of a student who suffered. The plaintiff’s child was among the 325 students from the Danwon High School in Ansan City, south of Seoul, who died when the Sewol ferry capsized and sank.  The plaintiff said she could raise to as much as 600 million won the damages she is seeking as more information emerges from the ongoing investigation and trials of the Sewol crew.
