[Suwon Damages Attorney Assistance Case] Successful Mediation Through the Assistance of a Suwon Damages Attorney

The client who visited a Suwon damages attorney was in a situation in which a claim for damages based on a tort had been brought against them.

The client's dog ran toward a neighbor who was taking a walk in the area, and the neighbor fell badly while trying to avoid the dog.

As a result, the neighbor filed a damages lawsuit against the client, claiming an injury requiring ten weeks of treatment.

To defend against the lawsuit, the client visited Daeryun's Suwon damages attorney.

■ Relevant Statutes Explained by the Suwon Damages Attorney

▶ Article 750 of the Civil Act (Definition of Tort)
A person who causes loss to another by an unlawful act, intentionally or negligently, is liable to compensate for the loss.

▶ Article 751 of the Civil Act (Compensation for Loss Other Than Property)
(1) A person who injures the body, liberty, or reputation of another, or inflicts mental anguish, is also liable to compensate for loss other than property.

(2) The court may order that the compensation under the preceding paragraph be paid as a periodic obligation, and may order the provision of reasonable security to ensure its performance.

In defending against the lawsuit, the Suwon damages attorney argued that there was room to conclude that a preexisting condition was involved in the injury the neighbor sustained.

The neighbor, who was injured in the fall, was of advanced age, and the possibility that a related preexisting condition was a contributing cause could not be ruled out.

Accordingly, the Suwon damages attorney argued that, although the neighbor claimed the injury was caused by the client's dog, this was not a credible claim.

The Suwon damages attorney argued that the loss the neighbor sustained also clearly involved fault on the neighbor's part.

Even though the loss did not result from the client's dog directly biting or scratching the neighbor, the neighbor claimed to have been injured because of the client's dog.

Despite having been diagnosed with an intra-articular fracture, the neighbor claimed that it was entirely due to the client's dog.

The Suwon damages attorney argued that the evidence submitted in support of the claimed loss was not clear.

The neighbor claimed to have been injured when the client's dog ran toward them, but the neighbor did not submit any direct evidence proving that situation.

The video in the submitted evidence merely showed the dog wandering around the neighborhood without a leash.

The client who visited a Suwon damages attorney was in a situation that required defense against a lawsuit, as the neighbor who filed the suit had claimed a large amount in damages.

Accordingly, Daeryun's Suwon damages attorney conducted a thorough consultation with the client and assisted with the overall litigation procedures.

As a result, mediation was reached under which the client paid only a very small amount to the injured neighbor.

Satisfied with the outcome, the client repeatedly expressed gratitude to Daeryun's Suwon damages attorney.
