The client who came to the Gwangju law firm was at risk of being punished on suspicion of violating the Emergency Medical Service Act, and requested help from the Gwangju branch office to handle the case together with the law firm.
1. The Client Who Came to the Gwangju Law Firm

The client who came to the Gwangju law firm visited the Gwangju branch office to find a solution through the firm's systematic legal assistance, and explained the detailed circumstances of the case.
The Client Booked for Violation of the Emergency Medical Service Act
The account of the client who visited the Gwangju law firm to request assistance is as follows.
The client was having an enjoyable time drinking on a trip with the client's wife and friends.
While taking a walk to sober up, the client's wife missed a step and suffered a fall.
The wife was transported by ambulance, and although the doctor said a CT scan was necessary, the client strongly refused.
The client, who continued to quarrel with the doctor, became angry and began to use abusive language, and even struck the doctor in the solar plexus, committing an assault.
In this way, the client obstructed emergency medical care for about ten minutes through assault and the use of force.
Booked on suspicion of violating the Emergency Medical Service Act, the client visited the Gwangju law firm seeking to proceed with the case together with a specialized attorney who had handled numerous 🔗assault/bodily injury cases.
2. Violation of the Emergency Medical Service Act Explained by the Gwangju Law Firm
The client was booked on suspicion of violating the Emergency Medical Service Act and came to a Gwangju law firm.
We will take a detailed look at what the Emergency Medical Service Act is and what the penalties are.
The Sentencing Range for Violation of the Emergency Medical Service Act
The 🔗Emergency Medical Service Act refers to a law established to protect the lives of emergency patients.
If a charge of violating the Emergency Medical Service Act is established, the following provisions may apply.
Emergency Medical Service Act Article 60 (Penalty Provisions)
A person who assaults an emergency medical worker and thereby causes bodily injury | Imprisonment for not more than 10 years or a fine of not less than 10 million won and not more than 100 million won |
A person who causes serious bodily injury to an emergency medical worker | Imprisonment for a definite term of not less than three years |
A person who causes the death of an emergency medical worker | Life imprisonment or imprisonment for not less than five years |
As shown, a charge of violating the Emergency Medical Service Act carries a heavy punishment and is somewhat legally complex, so a person implicated in such a case may wish to promptly seek the assistance of a specialized attorney.
3. The Gwangju Law Firm's Case Response Strategy

The Gwangju law firm conducted a careful consultation with the client and accurately ascertained the circumstances of the case.
The firm argued the following points and earnestly appealed for leniency for the client.
Gwangju Attorney's Assistance 1: Emphasizing the Low Risk of Reoffending
While intoxicated, the client, worried that the spouse had been badly injured, was unable to act rationally and committed the offense.
However, the client had lived as an upright person, having never once received criminal punishment before this case.
The firm emphasized that this case was a spontaneous offense and that, because the client had no criminal record, the risk of reoffending was low.
Gwangju Attorney's Assistance 2: Emphasizing Deep Remorse
From the time of the first investigation, the client acknowledged all of the charges, reflected on his conduct, and expressed his apology to the victim.
He is deeply reflecting on the fact that, while intoxicated, he failed to control his emotions and caused great harm to others.
We emphasized that he wrote a letter of apology along with a pledge never to repeat the same mistake.
4. Result of the Gwangju Law Firm's Assistance: A Fine
The court, accepting the Gwangju law firm's arguments, sentenced the client to a relatively light fine.
