Pyeongtaek Law Firm Assistance Case | Charge of Causing Death by Traffic Accident, Securing a Suspended Sentence

The account of the client, who had a careful consultation at the Pyeongtaek office, is as follows.

The client made a living working as a taxi driver.

Late one early morning, while driving with a passenger as usual, the client wanted to reach the destination quickly.

The client therefore ran a red light at an intersection and continued driving, and ultimately struck hard a vehicle that was traveling normally in the adjacent lane.

In that accident, the passenger riding in the client's taxi suffered injuries requiring six weeks of treatment, and the driver of the vehicle that was struck went into cardiac arrest and died.

A person engaged in the work of driving a motor vehicle has an occupational duty of care to look carefully ahead and to the left and right and to drive safely so as to prevent accidents.

Having neglected this duty, the client caused a serious accident and faced the risk of severe punishment.

The client requested help from the Pyeongtaek law firm in order to work with an attorney and reduce the sentence for the alleged violation of the 🔗Act on Special Cases concerning the Settlement of Traffic Accidents.

The client caused great harm to many people through serious negligence in failing to fulfill an occupational duty of care.

The client feels guilt over having inflicted unbearable suffering on the victims through his mistaken judgment.

The firm emphasized that the client had written letters of apology on several occasions, together with a resolve never to repeat the same wrong.

Immediately after the incident, the client called 119 and requested rescue measures for the victims.

The firm emphasized that the client had acted promptly so that both victims could receive rescue measures and had worked to minimize the harm.

The client conveyed sincere apologies to the victim and the bereaved family and delivered a settlement payment.

The firm emphasized that the victim and the bereaved family had expressed their wish not to have the client punished.

In the offense of causing death or injury by traffic accident, the sentence can vary depending on the circumstances at the time of the accident, the condition of the victim, and the degree of negligence, so receiving the help of an attorney can be helpful.
