The purpose of this study is to find out how the immigrant workers`` lives were changed due to industrial accidents in Korea. The consented twenty-two immigrant workers who experienced the industrial accidents participated in this study. Date were collected through in-depth interviews using the grounded theory suggested by Strauss and Corbin(1998). 404 concepts, 93 subcategories, and 13 categories were derived from the data analysis. In addition, the central phenomena were derived as ‘endurance alone’, ‘tired daily life’, ‘alienated social existence’. The experiences of immigrant workers`` in Korea went through from ‘the stage of the anxiety in survival’ to ‘the stageof the anxiety in survival’. Furthermore, the core category was “the struggling lives which got damaged supplies in the limit land on the rove”. Based the core category, five types were derived: enduring their realities, living in seclusion, resistance, satisfaction their realities, and pursuing the change. Finally, a circumstantial model relevant to person, community, country was presented, and the interactions of various circumstances which affected the results were presented. This study initially revealed what the immigrant workers`` experiences in Korea after industrial accidents would be, and the implications were suggested how the local communities and the government should provide them with customized services and policies to fit each stage and pattern.
