According to JTBC's "Case Leader" broadcast on the 6th, the victim, A, was arrested on June 27th last year after dinner with her boyfriend.
The accident occurred while Mr. A was on his way home by subway. At around 8:19 pm that day, he was boarding the subway from Magoknaru Station on Subway Line 9 towards Gaehwa Station.
However, when Mr. A reached the halfway point, a middle-aged woman behind him put two large suitcases on the escalator.
When A was trying to load the suitcases, the two suitcases he had loaded first rolled off. At that time, A looked back and before he could avoid them, he was hit by the two suitcases and fell over.
A said that he was pushed down the stairs of the escalator in a curled-up position. "Suddenly, I heard a rumbling sound from behind me, and when I turned around, I saw two really big suitcases," he said.
It looked like it was going to hit me, and I got hit," he said. "For two seconds, so many things went through my mind. Not one, but two fell at the same time, so I didn't have time to avoid them."
Ms. B, the woman who carried the suitcase, said, "I was in the wrong. I feel sorry for someone my daughter's age, and I want to compensate her." However, Ms. A said, "Through my lawyer,
When the plaintiff said, "I will settle the case out of court," Mr. B replied, "I didn't do anything terribly wrong, I just made a mistake, so I can get compensation through the insurance company. I won't use my own money."
In the end, A and B's criminal settlement broke down, and they received about 7 million won (approximately 740,000 yen) through insurance. "The medical expenses were more than 27 million won (approximately 2.8 million yen).
The woman was fined 1 million won (approximately 100,000 yen) for causing injury by negligence." Currently, Mr. A has filed a civil lawsuit against Mr. B. Mr. A said, "I've been in a position for a year because of the woman's mistake.
"The injury medical certificate said I would need at least eight weeks to recover and at least four weeks of psychiatric treatment. I'm lucky I didn't break any bones, but I'm in pain from head to toe," he said.
On the other hand, Mr. B said, "I am truly sorry for the accident that occurred due to my mistake, but Mr. A was not unable to walk, and from my perspective it was a minor accident, so I regret that it seems to have been exaggerated."
"Since the accident, I have also been experiencing great stress to the point that it is interfering with my daily life," she said.
