I injured someone in a drunk driving traffic accident.

To put the conclusion first, if you injure someone in a drunk driving traffic accident while driving under the influence of alcohol, you may be subject to both criminal punishment and driver's license sanctions.

If you injure a person while in a state in which normal driving is difficult due to alcohol or drugs, the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes applies, and the sentence becomes higher.

In this regard, under Article 5-11, paragraph 1 of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes, imprisonment for not less than one year and not more than 15 years, or a fine of not less than 10 million won and not more than 30 million won, may be pronounced.

In addition, if you fail to take the necessary measures after a drunk driving traffic accident or violate the laws related to driver's licenses, revocation of your driver's license and a restriction on obtaining a license for a certain period may be imposed.

Therefore, because this drunk driving traffic accident case is judged not to be mere negligence but an accident involving drunk driving, both criminal disadvantages and administrative sanctions are likely to apply.

For the details, we recommend that you confirm the specific matter through a consultation with an attorney specializing in drunk driving.
