Ulsan Traffic Accident Attorney | Defending a Client Charged With Aggravated Bodily Injury and Driving Without a License, Successfully Avoiding Imprisonment

The Ulsan traffic accident attorney defended a client who sought out a traffic accident attorney after being charged with special (aggravated) bodily injury and driving without a license. The Ulsan traffic accident attorney succeeded in avoiding imprisonment for the client.

1. The Client's Situation

This is the account of a client who sought out the Ulsan traffic accident attorney.

The client requested the assistance of a traffic accident attorney, explaining that he had been charged with special (aggravated) bodily injury and driving without a license.

The details of the client's case as reviewed by the Ulsan traffic accident attorney were as follows.

The client explained that his license had been revoked about two years earlier after he drove under the influence.

He did not drive at all afterward, but recently an urgent need to travel arose, and he had no choice but to take the wheel.

While driving, he nearly collided with a man who was jaywalking across a crosswalk, and the man suddenly grabbed the handle of the client's vehicle and tried to open the door.

Flustered, the client drove off as he was, and the man fell on the spot and sustained an injury requiring about two weeks of treatment.

As a result, the client came to face this case on charges of special (aggravated) bodily injury and driving without a license, and he requested a defense to avoid imprisonment.

2. The Charges Against the Ulsan Traffic Accident Attorney's Client

Ulsan Traffic Accident Attorney

The Ulsan traffic accident attorney's client was charged with special (aggravated) bodily injury and driving without a license.

Special (aggravated) bodily injury is an offense committed when a person inflicts bodily injury by displaying the collective force of a group or a crowd or by carrying a dangerous object.

Because the client injured the victim with a passenger car, which is a dangerous object, the charge of special 🔗bodily injury was applied.

Driving without a license refers, quite literally, to the offense of driving without holding a license.

Because the client drove without a license after his license had been revoked, the charge of 🔗driving without a license was applied.

The Anticipated Level of Punishment for the Ulsan Traffic Accident Attorney's Client

The Ulsan traffic accident attorney's client faced a situation in which the following level of punishment was anticipated for special (aggravated) bodily injury and driving without a license.

▲Criminal Act Article 258-2 (Special Bodily Injury) (1) A person who commits an offense under Article 257 (1) or (2) by displaying the collective force of a group or a crowd or by carrying a dangerous object shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than 1 year and not more than 10 years.

▲Criminal Act Article 257 (Bodily Injury, Bodily Injury to a Lineal Ascendant) (1) A person who inflicts bodily injury upon another shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 7 years, suspension of qualifications for not more than 10 years, or a fine not exceeding 10 million won.

▲Road Traffic Act Article 152 (Penalty Provisions) A person who falls under any of the following shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 1 year or a fine not exceeding 3 million won.

1. A person who, in violation of Article 43, drives a motor vehicle without obtaining a driver's license under Article 80

▲Road Traffic Act Article 43 (Prohibition of Driving Without a License, etc.) No person shall drive a motor vehicle, etc., where he or she has not obtained a driver's license from the Commissioner of a City or Provincial Police Agency under Article 80 or where the effect of his or her driver's license is suspended.

3. The Defense Mounted by the Ulsan Traffic Accident Attorney for the Client

The Ulsan traffic accident attorney mounted a defense for the client, arguing the following points.

▲Emphasizing that the client's act was self-defense

▲Emphasizing that the client, feeling a moral responsibility, reached a settlement with the victim

▲Emphasizing that the client was showing sincere remorse for driving without a license

▲Emphasizing that the client had first turned himself in for driving without a license

4. The Judgment Obtained by the Ulsan Traffic Accident Attorney for the Client

After hearing the Ulsan traffic accident attorney's submissions, the court imposed a suspended sentence on the client.

Because the client not only drove without a license but also committed special (aggravated) bodily injury using a motor vehicle, a situation in which severe punishment was anticipated had arisen.

It was thanks to the Ulsan traffic accident attorney's assistance that the client was able to avoid that punishment.
