[Assistance from a Bucheon Attorney] A Client Charged with Special Assault Receives a Non-Prosecution Decision with the Help of a Bucheon Attorney

The client who requested the assistance of a Bucheon attorney came to commit the offense in this case after failing to control a momentary anger on the day of the incident.

The client became angry at the victim's vehicle, which forced its way into the lane while driving in the first lane, and decided to engage in retaliatory driving.

The client overtook the victim's vehicle and then braked suddenly, and the victim noticed this too late, which led to a rear-end collision.

As a result, the client damaged the victim's vehicle to the extent of seven million won in repair costs and caused an injury requiring two weeks of treatment.

Having been the subject of a complaint on a charge of special assault resulting in injury, the client requested the assistance of a Bucheon attorney to reduce the punishment.

Before this incident, the suspect had no criminal record and had lived as a public official in compliance with the law.

The attorney argued that the incident occurred through foolish thought and conduct, and that the suspect was deeply repentant and reflecting on his conduct.

The suspect conveyed an apology to the victim, who would have suffered from his conduct, and provided compensation for the harm.

The attorney argued that the victim, accepting this, wished for leniency toward the suspect.

The suspect believed that the victim could have avoided the accident if the victim had simply observed the duty of care to maintain a safe following distance.

The attorney therefore argued that the suspect did not anticipate that an accident would occur and that this is how the offense in this case came about.

In the case above, with the assistance of a Bucheon attorney, the client successfully obtained a non-prosecution decision after facing the risk of punishment for special assault resulting in injury.

A person who carries a dangerous object and commits assault against the body of another is subject to punishment for special assault, namely imprisonment for not more than five years or a fine not exceeding 10 million won.
