1. Client Who Retained Counsel for Traffic Accident Litigation

Case of a client who filed a damages claim in a traffic accident lawsuit

The client who entrusted the traffic accident lawsuit was injured in a traffic accident and was experiencing difficulties over the damages issue, but thanks to the systematic assistance of the traffic accident attorney, was able to obtain appropriate damages.

Circumstances of the Case

The client boarded a private taxi while heading to a meeting place.


However, while en route, the taxi driver attempted a left turn in violation of a traffic signal, and as a result a traffic accident occurred in which the taxi collided with an oncoming bus.

As a result of this accident, the client received a diagnosis requiring treatment of 5 weeks or more, and, owing to the aftereffects of the accident, was placed in a situation where he was unable to commute to work for a certain period.

Accordingly, the client requested help from an attorney with extensive experience in traffic accident litigation in order to obtain compensation for various losses, including medical expenses, lost income during the work stoppage, and consolation money.

2. Statutes Relevant to Traffic Accident Litigation

When a person damages another person's body or property while operating an automobile, that person has an obligation to compensate for the loss under the Guarantee of Automobile Accident Compensation Act and the Civil Act.

▶ Guarantee of Automobile Accident Compensation Act, Article 3 (Liability for Automobile Accident Compensation)

A person who operates an automobile for himself shall be liable to compensate for the loss where, by such operation, he causes the death or injury of another person.

▶ Civil Act, Article 750 (Contents of Tort)

A person who causes loss to another by an unlawful act, intentionally or negligently, shall be liable to compensate for such loss.

Identifying the Issues in the Case

This accident occurred when a taxi driver, without properly checking left and right, made a left turn unreasonably despite a straight-ahead signal.

The traffic accident attorney concentrated on thoroughly investigating and proving the taxi driver’s clear fault and traffic signal violation.

On this basis, he carefully supported and assisted with the legal procedures so that appropriate compensation could be made for all of the loss suffered by the client, including treatment costs, lost income, and consolation money.

3. Assistance Provided in the Traffic Accident Litigation

Matters of assistance by the traffic accident lawsuit specialist attorney

In the traffic accident lawsuit, the firm established a systematic strategy so that the client could have the damages granted, and argued as follows.

The Traffic Accident Attorney's Argument ① | Loss of Earning Capacity

The traffic accident attorney carefully collected and analyzed the client's hospitalization records and the specialist's opinion, and systematically prepared evidentiary materials, such as submitting to the court the appraisal results of a labor capacity assessment institution in order to objectively prove the period of loss of labor capacity.

The attorney then emphasized that the client lost 100% of labor capacity during a hospitalization period of more than one month.

Moreover, the attorney strongly argued that the client was recognized as having lost labor capacity for 1 year from the date of the accident, and that there was an obligation to pay damages accordingly.

The Traffic Accident Attorney's Argument ② | Liability for Damages

The traffic accident attorney worked closely with Daeryun LLC's in-house Evidence Investigation Center to promptly secure the CCTV footage from the time of the incident and the taxi's dashcam.

A close analysis of the secured footage clearly revealed the negligence of the taxi driver, who violated the signal and recklessly attempted a left turn without properly checking ahead and to the left and right.

Accordingly, the traffic accident attorney emphasized that the accident occurred due to the taxi driver's negligence and that the taxi company should fully compensate the loss suffered by the client as a result.

4. Result of the Traffic Accident Litigation Assistance: ‘Award of 30 Million Won’

The need for assistance from an attorney specializing in traffic accident litigation
