[Changwon Traffic Accident Specialist Attorney Defense Against Punishment] Daeryun Changwon Traffic Accident Specialist Attorney, Obtained a Suspended Sentence in a Drunk Driving Property Damage and Injury Case

The Daeryun Changwon traffic accident specialist attorney examined the situation closely for the client's defense against punishment in the drunk driving traffic accident.

The circumstances of the drunk driving traffic accident at the time, as understood by the Daeryun Changwon traffic accident specialist attorney, are as follows.

The client had three glasses of soju with his meal at a restaurant in Changwon.

The dining location was close to home, and the client, who did not feel intoxicated, ended up taking the wheel.

After driving about 200 meters, while stopped at a signal on a downhill road, he applied the brakes too loosely and ended up hitting the car in front.

As a result, the client injured three victims who were passengers in the car in front and also damaged the vehicle.

The client was thereby indicted on charges of violation of the Act on Special Cases concerning the Settlement of Traffic Accidents (injury), violation of the Road Traffic Act, and violation of the Road Traffic Act (drunk driving).
