I have a question about assault damages.

Hello, this is the Suwon attorney at Daeryun Law Firm.

First, I understand that you are considering an assault damages lawsuit because the physical and mental damage from the assault can be very serious.

I will explain in detail the methods and procedures for filing a civil lawsuit below.

First, a medical certificate proving physical damage and materials proving mental suffering are important.

At this time, you must thoroughly prepare evidence that can specifically prove the damage facts.

Next, the items that can be claimed in an assault damages lawsuit include medical expenses, lost income, and consolation money.

Also, consolation money for mental suffering can be claimed.

If labor capacity is lost due to assault, daily wage loss or severance pay loss can also be included.

Next, here are the assault damages civil procedures.

▷ Filing Complaint: First, file a complaint with the court.
▷ Defendant's Answer Submission: The defendant must submit an answer within 30 days of receiving the complaint.
▷ Pretrial Preparation Procedure: When the defendant submits an answer, the pretrial preparation procedure proceeds.
▷ Hearing Date Designation: When the pretrial preparation procedure is completed, the presiding judge designates the hearing date.
▷ Hearing and Judgment Pronouncement: After issues are organized at the hearing date, the judgment is pronounced.

As such, in assault crime cases, criminal punishment applies only to the perpetrator and no separate compensation is provided to the victim, so it is important to claim damages through a damages lawsuit.

Damages claims related to assault crimes proceed separately from criminal punishment, so the victim can be compensated for all damages suffered.

The mental suffering you experienced may be difficult to prove, but consolation money can be claimed through medical records and the victim's statement, so thorough preparation of evidence is necessary.

Therefore, if you need the assistance of a Suwon attorney, please request a consultation at any time.

I will provide help. Thank you.
