Abstract

Man-made changes in the structure of new materials and compositions with the aim of meeting today's needs may cause long-term damage to which current civil liability cannot respond well. Finding the cause of damage in the long-lasting damages with their effects in the long run is a specialized issue that is beyond the capability of most individuals. Thus, first, the attribution of the causal relationship is complex and sometimes impossible. Second, the extent of the damage is such that even the richest people cannot compensate for it in some cases. Third, if there is financial capability, compensation will not be possible in most cases. Considering these items, there is a need for prevention in civil liability. In this regard, it is necessary to introduce a new literature in civil liability so that in case of such damages, preventive measures can be taken to reduce the damage. The data collection measure in this study was analytical-descriptive. Moreover, the preventive liability and the feasibility of choosing preventive and deterrent measures in civil liability have been investigated through valid jurisprudential and legal sources, laws and conventions at the national and international levels. Being inspired by jurisprudential capacities and based on various rules such as warning rule and obligation to prevention of possible damage, customary acceptance of prevention in international law and precautionary misconduct  can discuss about revolution in civil liability which has surfed beyond the limited boundaries of the traditional civil liability and prevented damage in the future.
