Law Firm Changchun represented a pedestrian who was injured when struck by a car's side mirror while walking down an alley, and obtained a decision awarding KRW 110 million in damages in the claim brought against the driver and the insurer.
At the time of the accident the victim was diagnosed with a sprained elbow requiring two weeks' recovery, but the after-effects damaged the nerves at the site of the injury and weakened muscle strength, and the victim also suffered mental distress from the hit-and-run. The insurer nonetheless offered only a very small settlement and maintained a passive stance toward making the victim whole, so a damages claim was brought.
In that action Law Firm Changchun actively pursued medical appraisal proceedings covering the nerve damage, the loss of earning capacity from persistent pain and the psychological after-effects, and obtained recognition of KRW 110 million in loss, over and above roughly three years of medical expenses already incurred.
