Is a bodily injury civil lawsuit possible?

I confirm that you have inquired about whether a bodily injury civil lawsuit can proceed.

If you suffered a bodily injury due to assault, you can claim compensation for the damage through a civil lawsuit.

As you have inquired, if a judgment criminally punishing the offender has already been issued, you will be in a favorable position when proceeding with a bodily injury civil lawsuit.

At this time, you can claim compensation not only for physical harm but also for mental and emotional harm.

For example, post-traumatic stress and sleep disorders resulting from the other party's assault can also be recognized as bodily injury.

In order to receive compensation through a bodily injury civil lawsuit, you must be able to accurately prove the fact of the other party's assault and the degree of the bodily injury sustained as a result.

For this, objective evidence that can prove that you sustained a bodily injury is needed.

Mainly, treatment records for the bodily injury sustained through the assault, materials recording the date, time, and place where the incident occurred, photographs of the accident scene, and witness statements can be used as key materials.

If you win the bodily injury civil lawsuit through logical arguments, you can be paid compensation.

However, filing a bodily injury civil lawsuit does not unconditionally guarantee compensation, and even when compensation is awarded, a judgment is often rendered for an amount that is small compared to the damage.

Therefore, we recommend proceeding with the help of a civil attorney with abundant relevant legal knowledge and experience.
