1. A Client Seeking Assistance With Calculating an Assault Settlement Amount
The client, who sought assistance with calculating an assault settlement amount and reaching a settlement, wished to resolve the assault case quickly through a settlement.
This is a case in which an attorney experienced in assault matters assisted with an assault settlement with the victim.
What Is the Crime of Assault?
🔗Assault is an offense committed through the exercise of physical force against a person's body.
Assault may be recognized even without physical contact such as striking.
The Supreme Court has, in its precedents, recognized as assault such conduct as repeatedly directing abusive language or threats at a person several times, or approaching a victim and shouting abuse while swinging or throwing one's hands, feet, or objects as if to strike.
When assault is committed, the offender may be punished by imprisonment for not more than two years, a fine of not more than five million won, detention, or a minor fine.
Why the Assault Settlement Money Matters
This is because assault is a crime not punishable against the victim's will, for which prosecution cannot be brought contrary to the victim's expressed intent.
If a settlement is reached, a disposition of no right to prosecute may be obtained, so if you are involved in an assault, a settlement with the victim is very important.
The client wished to consult an attorney regarding the assault settlement money in order to resolve the assault case, and the attorney took charge of the client's case.
2. An Attorney's Assistance in Adjusting the Assault Settlement Amount
An attorney provided assistance in adjusting the assault settlement amount.
The attorney conveyed the client's sincere apology to the victim and undertook negotiations regarding the assault settlement money.
Assault Settlement Strategy 1. Conveying a Spirit of Apology
For the assault settlement, the attorney emphasized that the client felt deep guilt over the assault and was sincerely remorseful and apologetic.
The attorney also conveyed that the client had a strong will to resolve this case through an amicable settlement with the victim, and that he sincerely hoped a settlement could be reached through the assault settlement money.
Assault Settlement Strategy 2. Requesting a Settlement and Cooperation
For the assault settlement, the attorney expressed the client's deep regret for the mental and physical suffering the victim may have experienced, and conveyed that the client would spare no support, through the assault settlement money, to help the victim recover.
The attorney also emphasized that the client was prepared to take all possible measures regarding any compensation or restitution the victim might request, and that if the victim did not wish for punishment or wished to conclude this case through a settlement, the client would follow all corresponding legal procedures.
3. A Client Seeking to Adjust the Assault Settlement Amount Reaches a Settlement
The client, who wished to adjust the assault settlement amount, reached a settlement for an appropriate sum with the attorney's assistance, and because the victim expressed an intention not to seek punishment, the client was able to obtain a non-prosecution decision on the ground of no right to prosecute.
Because the positions and views of the victim and the offender differ, and a proper settlement can be difficult to reach when emotions are heightened, it is recommended to proceed with a settlement with the assistance of an attorney.
Reaching a prompt and amicable settlement on the most favorable terms possible, through an attorney, while reducing unnecessary emotional and physical strain, can be a helpful approach to defending against punishment for assault.
The assault settlement money may be adjusted depending on the motive and degree of the assault, so it is recommended to make the adjustment with the assistance of an attorney.
