I've been repeatedly subjected to verbal and physical abuse by my ex-boyfriend, so I think I need a dating violence consultation. Even though we broke up, he still threatens me with calls and messages, and I'm anxious... I don't know if I should report it to the police, or where and how to use counseling centers or protection services. If I get an attorney consultation, can you also help with personal protection?

Hello. I am the traffic accident specialist attorney at Daeryun Law Firm (LLC).

The basic sentence for hit-and-run injury can be fixed-term imprisonment of 1 year or more or a fine of 5 million won or more and 30 million won or less, and depending on the circumstances of the case and the driver's actions, mitigation may be possible.

Hit-and-run injury is established when a driver leaves the scene of a traffic accident without taking necessary aid or reporting, despite the victim suffering injuries.

However, the following matters may serve as mitigating factors.

- Cases where the victim has substantial fault in the occurrence or expansion of the accident
- Cases where the driver was in a state of mental weakness at the time of the accident
- Cases where the driver self-reported or cooperated in protecting the victim through reporting after the accident
- Cases where the victim does not wish for punishment or recovery has been made through deposit, etc.
- Whether comprehensive automobile insurance is subscribed
- Sincere remorse
- No prior criminal punishment, etc.

If you are involved in a hit-and-run injury case, it is important to quickly secure case records and evidence, and accurately analyze the circumstances and key issues of the case through consultation with a traffic accident specialist attorney.

For details, please consult with a traffic accident specialist attorney.
