[Daejeon Drunk Driving Attorney] Client in a Dangerous Driving Causing Injury Case Receives a Suspended Sentence with Daeryun's Assistance

The client who sought out a Daejeon drunk driving attorney had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.116% and was intoxicated to the point of being unable to operate the controls accurately.

Ultimately, the client failed to keep a proper watch on the road ahead and struck the bumpers of 2 vehicles.

Having caused a major accident through drunk driving and inflicted injury on several people, the client sought out a Daejeon drunk driving attorney in order to avoid a custodial sentence.

The drunk driving attorney of Daeryun Law Firm in Daejeon prepared a plan to help the client avoid a custodial sentence and obtain a suspended sentence.

Under Article 5-11 of the Act on Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes, any person who drives a motor vehicle while in a state in which normal driving is difficult due to the influence of alcohol or drugs and thereby causes injury to another person shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than 1 year and not more than 15 years or by a fine not exceeding 30 million won.

No person shall, after drinking (a blood alcohol concentration of 0.03% or higher), drive a motor vehicle or similar, pursuant to the proviso to Article 26 (1) of the Construction Machinery Management Act.

Where the blood alcohol concentration is 0.2% or higher, imprisonment for not less than 2 years and not more than 5 years or a fine of not less than 10 million won and not more than 20 million won is imposed.

Where the blood alcohol concentration is 0.08% or higher and less than 0.2%, imprisonment for not less than 1 year and not more than 2 years or a fine of not less than 5 million won and not more than 10 million won is imposed.

The client confessed fully to the offense, had not refused a breathalyzer test after causing the accident, stated the facts exactly as they were, and was sincerely remorseful for his conduct.

The client had always used a designated driver service when drinking and had never once driven while intoxicated. Even while experiencing symptoms he had never encountered before, such as occasionally losing his memory after drinking, the client had never gone so far as to drive. He was shocked that many people had been injured as a result of his driving and was deeply remorseful.

To remedy the victims' harm, the client reached a settlement with some of the victims, remedied the victims' harm through an insurer, and made efforts to repair the victims' harm, including by spending a total of approximately 50 million won in reimbursing that insurance payment to remedy the victims' harm.
