Incheon Criminal Attorney Assistance | Suspended Sentence in an Occupational Negligence Causing Death Criminal Case

This is the story of the client who requested the assistance of an Incheon criminal attorney.

The client is a nursing assistant working at a hospital located in Incheon, and the victim is an inpatient.

On the day of the incident, the client recommended that the victim take medication, but the victim refused.

Thereafter, the client received an instruction from the victim's attending physician to inject the victim with medication.

In order to inject the victim with the medication, the client restrained the victim, and in this process the victim died of asphyxiation caused by the pressure.

Ultimately, the client was subjected to a criminal lawsuit on a charge of occupational negligence causing death and requested the assistance of the criminal attorney at the Incheon office.

Restraint refers to the act of restricting a patient's body using restraint devices or isolating the patient separately in a seclusion room.

The Incheon criminal attorney emphasized that the client's act of holding the victim's body part did not amount to restraint, but was merely an act to assist in the administration of the injection.

It was argued that, although the client had been holding the body part, the situation was not one in which pressure could be applied to the victim's abdominal area.

In this regard, the Incheon criminal attorney emphasized that it could not be concluded that the client had breached the duty of care.

The Incheon criminal attorney emphasized that the client was a first-time offender with no prior record of having been punished for involvement in any crime.

The attorney also argued that the client had worked diligently as a nursing assistant for a long time and had attended to patients with a devoted attitude.

🔗occupational negligence causing death or injury is charged and one is to be punished, one is subject to imprisonment without labor for not more than 5 years or a fine of not more than 20 million won.
