Special injury attorney, I am curious about the investigation procedures for special injury cases.

Hello. I am a special injury attorney at Daeryun Law Firm (LLP).

Special injury cases begin investigation when there is a complaint by the victim, an accusation by another person, self-surrender, report, or when the police and prosecutors recognize the criminal facts.

If the investigative agency judges that there is a suspicion of crime, they call the suspect for investigation, and depending on the situation, they can apply for an arrest or detention warrant to arrest or detain the suspect.

In particular, when there is a risk of escape or the possibility of evidence destruction, force is exercised.

The police conduct investigations through various methods such as suspect interrogation, evidence collection, and on-site verification.

When the investigation ends, the case is sent to the prosecutor's office, and the prosecutor reviews the sent case and conducts additional investigation if necessary.

Subsequently, if the prosecutor judges that there is sufficient suspicion, they file an indictment in court, and on the contrary, if there is insufficient suspicion, they make a non-prosecution disposition.

Special injury cases involve injury to the body, so legal response is very important.

Special injury is punished under Article 258-2 of the Criminal Act and can be subject to imprisonment of 1 to 10 years.

Additionally, if injury is committed by showing the force of a group or multiple persons, or by carrying a dangerous object, it is subject to imprisonment of 2 to 20 years.

Therefore, with the assistance of a special injury attorney early on, you can prevent unnecessary detention or punishment and obtain a more favorable outcome.

If you are charged or undergoing investigation, we recommend quickly consulting with a special injury attorney.
