Daegu Hit-and-Run Attorney Assistance Case | A Client in a Drunk-Driving Hit-and-Run, Suspended Sentence

This is the story of the client who sought out a Daegu hit-and-run specialist attorney.

On the day of the incident, the client had been drinking with acquaintances from the afternoon.

He then heard the news that a family member had been injured, and in his urgency the client took the wheel and headed for the hospital.

While driving, he had a minor collision with an oncoming car, but in his haste the client left the scene without recognizing the accident.

Afterward, the client was given a breathalyzer test by police who responded to the victim's report.

Having come to face charges of drunk driving and hit-and-run causing injury through this course of events, the client requested assistance from the Daegu hit-and-run specialist attorney ahead of trial.

In addition, as in the client's case, committing drunk driving and hit-and-run causing injury together may result in aggravated punishment, so it may be advisable to exercise particular caution.

Level of punishment for drunk driving

When a traffic accident leads to criminal punishment in this way, it may be advisable to receive the assistance of a specialized attorney in order to clearly ascertain one's charges and to prepare evidence and a response suited to them.

At the time of the accident, the client did not realize that he had caused a traffic accident, but after later becoming aware of it, he sincerely admitted his fault and was remorseful.

In particular, he felt deep guilt for causing property and personal damage to the victim and then leaving the scene.

The Daegu hit-and-run attorney submitted to the court a large quantity of letters of reflection handwritten by the client and argued that this should be taken into account in sentencing.

Of course, driving while intoxicated, causing an accident, and inflicting harm is clearly a crime, but the degree of vehicle damage and injury to the victim was not serious.

The Daegu hit-and-run attorney argued that the court should also take into account in its judgment the fact that the harm actually caused by the client's drunk hit-and-run accident was not serious.

At the time of the incident, the client was in a very anxious and hurried psychological state because of the news that a family member had been injured, and as a result he had no choice but to drive carelessly.

The Daegu hit-and-run attorney argued that consideration should be given to the fact that, because the client was driving under extreme stress, his capacity for rational judgment and deliberate action was diminished.

The above case was the account of a client who, facing trial on charges of drunk driving and hit-and-run causing injury, avoided an actual custodial sentence with the assistance of the Daegu hit-and-run specialist attorney and concluded the case with a suspended sentence.

If, like the client, you have committed both drunk driving and hit-and-run causing injury, it is important to clearly understand your charges and to prepare a response suited to them.

In particular, in traffic accident offenses, the direction of the judgment can change depending on whether evidence such as CCTV or dashcam footage is secured, so the assistance of a specialist attorney is crucial.
