The client was indicted for hit-and-run injury after striking another vehicle while driving under the influence, causing four-week injuries to the driver and passenger, and then fleeing.
Taelim??s attorneys closely reviewed the situation. Unfavorable circumstances included a prior drunk-driving offense from ten years earlier and the fact that the victims demanded excessive settlement amounts, leaving damage recovery unresolved. Nevertheless, the attorneys actively pursued settlement and completed settlements with two victims for amounts lower than the typical level.
Although the prosecution sought four years?? imprisonment, active settlement efforts and sentencing advocacy resulted in a sentence of two years?? imprisonment suspended for three years.
In crimes involving intentional or near-intentional harm, settlements often fail or excessive settlement demands are made without legal assistance. This case is meaningful because it shows that legal assistance can guide settlement toward a reasonable amount by presenting an appropriate range.
