Cheongju Traffic Accident Attorney Assistance | With the Assistance of a Cheongju Traffic Accident Attorney, a Suspended Sentence for a Client in a Traffic Accident Causing Injury

This is the account of a client who requested the assistance of a Cheongju traffic accident attorney.

The client worked as a taxi driver, engaged in driving duties.

On the day of the incident, the client was passing a crosswalk that had no traffic signal.

The client failed to notice a person crossing the road and struck the pedestrian.

The pedestrian sustained injuries, including fractures requiring 12 weeks of treatment as a result of the accident, and the client came to face trial on suspicion of violation of the Act on Special Cases concerning the Settlement of Traffic Accidents.

As the head of a household, the client requested the help of a Cheongju traffic accident attorney in order to avoid an actual custodial sentence.

This case is governed by the🔗Act on Special Cases concerning the Settlement of Traffic Accidents, and the following provisions apply.

▶ Act on Special Cases concerning the Settlement of Traffic Accidents, Article 1 (Purpose)

▶ Act on Special Cases concerning the Settlement of Traffic Accidents, Article 3 (Special Cases concerning Punishment)

※ Criminal Act, Article 268 : A person who causes the death or injury of another through occupational negligence or gross negligence shall be punished by imprisonment without labor for not more than 5 years or a fine not exceeding 20 million won.

Although the client was aware of the obligation to slow down at the crosswalk and to stop temporarily in order to protect pedestrians, the client deeply blames himself and is remorseful for having caused harm.

The attorney emphasized that, along with a pledge to live by observing even minor laws and rules from now on, the client had prepared a written pledge of law-abiding conduct and was making substantial efforts to prevent reoffending.

The client obtained a driver's license about 10 years ago and, until this case, had never caused any traffic accident or violated any traffic laws.

The attorney also emphasized that the client had no other record of criminal punishment and no criminal history of any kind, including any prior offense of the same type.

In addition to the civil settlement amount, the client paid the victim a separate criminal settlement amount.

The client also visited the victim several times to express an apology, and the victim stated that the victim did not wish for the client to be punished.

Accordingly, the Cheongju traffic accident attorney earnestly requested leniency, emphasizing that the client and the victim had reached an amicable settlement.

In this case, a client who had caused serious bodily injury to a victim in a traffic accident avoided an actual custodial sentence with the assistance of a Cheongju traffic accident attorney.
