The Client Who Sought to File a Criminal Complaint

The circumstances of the case as ascertained by the Gangneung criminal litigation attorney are as follows.

The client was staying at a hotel for a relaxing getaway with their partner to celebrate an anniversary.

On the evening of the incident, someone knocked urgently on the room door, and the client, assuming it was their partner returning from the convenience store, opened the door.

However, the person at the door was a young man who appeared to be intoxicated and was a complete stranger.

The client therefore told the man that he seemed to have come to the wrong room and asked him to leave.

Upon hearing this, the man suddenly assaulted the client indiscriminately.

Ultimately, as the assault continued, the client lost consciousness on the spot and sustained an injury requiring more than six weeks of treatment.

Having been assaulted by a person whose name they did not even know, the client requested that the Gangneung criminal litigation attorney handle representation in filing a criminal complaint in order to bring the assailant to punishment.

Laws Relevant to Infliction of Bodily Injury

The offense of infliction of bodily injury refers to criminal conduct that, by means of assault or similar harm to another person's body, impairs that person's physiological functions.

Bodily injury does not apply only when the skin is torn or a bone is broken.

If the offender induces symptoms of intoxication in the victim that cause dizziness or vomiting, or causes a sexually transmitted infection, an eating disorder, insomnia, or similar conditions, all of these likewise constitute bodily injury.

🔗infliction of bodily injury If the offense of infliction of bodily injury is established, the assailant is subject to imprisonment for up to seven years or a fine not exceeding ten million won.

Article 257 of the Criminal Act (Infliction of Bodily Injury; Bodily Injury on Lineal Ascendant)
(1) A person who inflicts bodily injury upon another shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than seven years, suspension of qualifications for not more than ten years, or a fine not exceeding ten million won.

2. The Gangneung Criminal Litigation Attorney's Assistance in Representing the Complaint

To bring the assailant to punishment, the Gangneung criminal litigation attorney once again carefully ascertained the facts and then drafted and submitted a complaint that aligned with the elements of the offense.

Arguing That the Defendant's Statement Was False

Far from showing remorse, the defendant gave a false statement to the investigative authorities claiming that the incident had been a mutual altercation.

However, because that statement was not true, the Gangneung criminal litigation attorney submitted evidentiary materials such as footage from the hotel corridor CCTV and strongly argued that the defendant's statement was false.

Arguing That the Client Still Suffers Greatly to This Day

The client not only sustained a serious injury requiring six weeks of treatment but is also experiencing severe psychological distress as a result of this incident.

The Gangneung criminal litigation attorney submitted records of psychiatric treatment and requested that a sentence commensurate with the crime committed by the defendant be imposed.

3. The Result of the Gangneung Criminal Litigation Attorney's Assistance, Punishment of the Perpetrator

As a result of the Gangneung criminal litigation attorney's handling of the representation in filing the complaint, the assailant in the client's case was sentenced to a substantial fine.

The client expressed relief and conveyed their gratitude to the criminal litigation attorney for providing dedicated assistance.
