Assistance through a Cheongju attorney consultation | client charged with occupational negligence causing injury receives a suspended sentence after a Cheongju attorney consultation

This is the client's story as learned through the Cheongju attorney consultation.

The client was working as the safety management officer at a manufacturing company.

The victim was a worker working at that factory and was working inside the factory.

During the work, a machine installed in the factory malfunctioned, and the victim was injured.

As a result, the client was reported on charges of occupational negligence causing injury.

To obtain a reduction of sentence, the client urgently came to the Cheongju attorney and requested a consultation.

Cheongju attorney, what is occupational negligence causing injury?

The charge of occupational negligence causing injury imposes punishment on a perpetrator where, by failing to fulfill the duty of care required in the course of business, the perpetrator causes injury to or the death of another, and it is punished more heavily than ordinary negligent homicide. If the charge is found, one may be punished by imprisonment without labor for not more than 5 years or a fine not exceeding 20 million won. Even without intent, if there is even the slightest negligence, it can be difficult to avoid punishment. If you are involved in a charge of occupational negligence causing injury, it is advisable to handle the case with the help of a specialist attorney from the early stage.

Immediately after the incident, the client went to the victim and offered a sincere apology.

In addition, after completing the consultation with the Cheongju attorney, he once again conveyed his apologies to the victim and the victim's family, delivered a settlement payment to compensate for the harm, and emphasized that he was making efforts toward a settlement.

During the consultation with the Cheongju attorney, the client emphasized that, as the head of a household, he had a family to support.

The Cheongju attorney therefore argued that if the client were to receive a sentence of actual imprisonment or more, serious difficulties could arise for the family's livelihood.

The client sincerely reflected on his wrongdoing and resolved not to repeat the same mistake in the future. To that end, he stated that he would thoroughly carry out safety measures and management oversight.
