I unintentionally caused a traffic accident, and since I thought we had reached a settlement, I believed the matter was over. However, I received a criminal complaint regarding the traffic accident from the police station, and I have been told to appear for a police investigation shortly. This is the first time I have ever received a criminal complaint regarding a traffic accident, and it is also my first police investigation, so I am scared and afraid.. If I receive the assistance of an attorney for police investigations, would the attorney be able to accompany me during the police investigation? If I receive the assistance of an attorney for police investigations, will I be able to resolve this well?

You have received a request from the police to undergo an investigation. First, this indicates that there is a suspicion of a traffic accident, and if you have been notified to undergo an investigation based on the statement of the reporting victim and the criminal complaint regarding the traffic accident, then you should take this to mean that you are suspected in connection with a certain incident.
Based on the content of the victim's report and written statement, the authorities will assess the case and summon you as a suspect to conduct the investigation.
When you undergo a police investigation at an investigative agency, if you become flustered and afraid and respond improperly, the direction of the case may take a strange turn.
Therefore, the initial response is the most important.
It is important, from the police investigation stage, to receive the assistance of an attorney for police investigations and to immediately confirm, through a request for disclosure of information, the contents of the criminal complaint regarding the traffic accident and to examine the legal principles from the early stage.
Daeryun Law LLC's attorneys for police investigations conduct mock police investigation simulations in a mock interrogation room that resembles the actual investigation environment in order to protect their clients, and they wholeheartedly assist clients, including by accompanying them during the police investigation, in order to obtain a decision of non-referral so that the case may, as far as possible, be concluded at the police investigation stage.
In addition, after accompanying the client to the investigation, the attorney takes measures that will help defend the client against punishment, such as renewing settlement negotiations with the victim on the client's behalf.
If you have received a criminal complaint regarding a traffic accident from the police and are being investigated, we encourage you to seek the assistance of an attorney for police investigations who provides a service of accompanying clients during police investigations.
