1. The Client Who Received a Mokpo Attorney Referral
The client who received a Mokpo attorney referral caused an accident by striking the victim while driving, yet fled without immediately stopping and taking necessary measures such as aiding the victim.
The client was therefore indicted on charges of hit-and-run causing injury.
The client explained that they had fled because of being so flustered and frightened.
The Mokpo attorney undertook to assist in defending the client against punishment.
The Case of the Client Who Received a Mokpo Attorney Referral, What Is Hit-and-Run Causing Injury?
Hit-and-run causing injury refers to a crime in which a driver who has caused a traffic accident flees without aiding the victim. It is also commonly called 🔗failure to take measures after an accident / a hit-and-run.
The offense of hit-and-run causing injury refers to an act in which the perpetrator of a traffic accident, despite recognizing that the victim has been injured or killed as a result of the traffic accident, fails to take necessary measures such as immediately stopping and aiding the victim, and leaves the scene of the accident, making it impossible to determine who the driver that caused the accident was.
If a person causes a traffic accident, injures or kills a person, and flees, that person is punished for hit-and-run causing injury or hit-and-run causing death under the Act on Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes, as well as for failure to take measures after an accident under the Road Traffic Act.

2. Assistance for the Client Who Received a Mokpo Attorney Referral
The attorney undertook to assist the client who received a Mokpo attorney referral.
Through a thorough consultation with the client, the Mokpo attorney focused the defense on the aspects for which mitigation of the sentence could be requested.
Mokpo Attorney Strategy 1. Arguing That the Client Was a First-Time Offender
The attorney argued that, before this case, the client was a model and diligent student who had never been involved in even a single regrettable incident.
The attorney emphasized that, at the time of the accident, the client was greatly flustered by the first traffic accident he had ever experienced and fled almost involuntarily, without any malicious intent to conceal the facts of the offense.
Mokpo Attorney Strategy 2. Arguing the Client's Efforts to Prevent Reoffending
The attorney argued that the client was making efforts to prevent reoffending and requested leniency.
The client regularly watches educational videos on how to respond when an accident occurs and has prepared a written pledge not to reoffend, making efforts never to commit such a mistake again.
3. Client Who Received a Mokpo Attorney Recommendation Obtains a Suspension of Sentencing
The client was able to obtain a suspension of sentencing despite the charge of hit-and-run causing injury.
The client explained, “I was so shocked and flustered by the sudden accident that I ended up fleeing. Thanks to the attorney, I was able to avoid a serious punishment.”
Because hit-and-run causing injury is a serious matter that may be punished far more heavily than an ordinary traffic accident, responding with the assistance of an attorney can be helpful.
