Legal Q&A

Is there no way to reduce the amount of traffic accident damages?

I am curious about how to calculate the amount of traffic accident damages. My negligence is on the larger side, but the damages and consolation money the other party is demanding are too high. Even though the damage does not seem large, they are demanding more than 10 million won, so my sense of unfairness is growing. In this case, is there no way to appropriately reduce the amount of damages? Is a settlement the only answer to avoid criminal punishment?

What is the crime of destruction of evidence? What is the legal punishment for the crime of destruction of evidence?

The order for the production of evidence that I requested in a civil trial was dismissed. What should I do?

I caused a drunk driving traffic accident at a travel destination. Please organize the drunk driving sentencing materials.

I briefly rented a car at a travel destination, and while driving around, I caused a drunk driving traffic accident through my own negligence. Because my driving experience is short and insufficient, the accident happened, and I am curious about how much the self-payment deductible would be if an accident occurs while driving a rented car like this／how much I would have to compensate the rental car company／and what happens if I cannot pay compensation. Please organize the drunk driving sentencing materials and provide an answer.

I think I need damages for a traffic accident. What should I do if I urgently need money for medical expenses?

I urgently need damages for a traffic accident. I was badly injured, and I am also afraid that I may be left with a disability, but the other party's payment of my medical expenses seems far off. I am worried about whether I should pursue damages for the traffic accident civilly, or whether insurance proceeds alone will be enough to cover it. I think I should consider criminal punishment later.

I want to file a complaint about sexual harassment remarks, but I have no evidence; what should I do?

I would like to know the legal methods of responding to a sexual harassment case.

I am facing criminal punishment and disciplinary action for drunk driving by a public official.

I am currently a public official, and recently I drank and drove, caused an accident, and was also caught in a drunk-driving crackdown, making it difficult to avoid criminal punishment. Even setting aside the criminal punishment, I heard that, as it constitutes grounds for disqualification of a public official, disciplinary action will be imposed. I am asking about the level of disciplinary action for drunk driving by a public official, in relation to public-official disciplinary action and grounds for disqualification of a public official.

If I record a conversation with the defendant and submit it as evidence, would the recorded evidence have no effect?

After recording the content of a conversation with the defendant, I intend to submit that file as recorded evidence. In this case, I am curious whether the recorded evidence has legal effect. I would like to know whether a conversation recorded without the other party's consent can pose a legal problem and whether it can be admitted as evidence in court.
