I am curious about the level of punishment for a jaywalking traffic accident.

Hello, I am answering your question about the jaywalking traffic accident.

First, the key in a jaywalking accident is the ratio of fault between the driver and the pedestrian, which is an important factor in both criminal and civil liability.

Jaywalking is an act prohibited under the Road Traffic Act, and violators are subject to a fine of up to 200,000 won, detention, or a minor fine.

When the victim violates this and jaywalks, the pedestrian's fault is often largely recognized.

Particularly, if dangerous behaviors are involved, such as nighttime, dawn hours, dark clothing, or crossing in the middle of the road, the pedestrian's liability may be judged to be greater.

Recently, courts have tended to acquit drivers who collided with jaywalkers and caused their death.

However, since the driver also has the duty of forward attention and the duty of safe driving, criminal punishment may be carried out if the driver's fault is recognized.

Together with a traffic accident specialist attorney, please secure objective evidence such as black box footage and witness statements to prepare for accurate fault ratio calculation and the criminal procedure response for the jaywalking traffic accident.
