Injuring a Pedestrian in a Crosswalk
1. Case Overview
While making a left turn, our client struck and injured a pedestrian crossing at a crosswalk. Crosswalk accidents bear directly on pedestrian safety and are judged strictly by investigators and courts alike; beyond liability for the negligent bodily injury, our client faced the heavy burden of a criminal record, making this an extremely serious situation.
2. DAEON's Strategy
Attorney Shin Dong-woo objectively analyzed the circumstances of the accident while focusing on conveying to the court, with sincerity, the specific motives and context behind our client's conduct. Rather than merely admitting negligence, we set out our client's age, everyday character, and upbringing in detail to demonstrate from multiple angles why he posed no risk of reoffending and how deeply remorseful he was. We also pursued an amicable settlement with the victim and organized every effort our client made toward the victim's recovery after the accident into systematic sentencing materials for the court. This meticulous legal advocacy, combined with a strategy of human persuasion, proved effective: we averted a prison term and secured the best possible outcome, a suspended sentence.
