1. The Client
The client faced the risk of an actual custodial sentence in an assault resulting in injury case.
To defend against punishment and seek a fine for the assault resulting in injury, the client sought the help of a Gwangju attorney with extensive experience in criminal cases.
The Client's Situation
The circumstances of the client's case were as follows.
During an argument with a woman, the client became angry and grabbed her by the hair.
A brief scuffle followed, and the client pushed the woman.
At that point, she fell and sustained an injury requiring four weeks of treatment due to a fracture in her arm.
The client then faced the risk of being punished for assault resulting in injury.
To defend against punishment and seek a fine for the assault resulting in injury, the client requested a consultation with a Gwangju attorney who had extensive criminal experience relating to assault.
Information on Assault Resulting in Injury

Assault is an offense committed when a person inflicts physical force on another's body, and infliction of bodily injury is an offense committed when a person injures another's body.
The levels of punishment for assault and infliction of bodily injury are as follows.
Criminal Act | Level of Punishment |
A person who injures another's body | Imprisonment for up to 7 years, suspension of qualifications for up to 10 years, or a fine of up to 10 million won |
A person who inflicts physical force on another's body | Imprisonment for up to 2 years or a fine of up to 5 million won, misdemeanor detention, or a minor fine |
If, as in the client's case, an assault causes injury to the other party, the offense of assault resulting in injury is committed, and aggravated punishment may be imposed.
If a person commits assault or special assault and causes another person to die or be injured, that person may be punished under the provisions on infliction of bodily injury, serious bodily injury, special bodily injury, or bodily injury resulting in death.
