00:00Oh no, it's a new year and I hope that the drivers who do not obey the law will also change.

00:07In the video that you will watch, you will see a young man crossing when he was hit by a red car.

00:15Due to the impact, some residents were killed in the area.

00:20But the driver of the car did not stop and did not help the victim.

00:26Two days later, the child was brought back to life.

00:30Authorities are still investigating the incident.

00:33What does the law say about this?

00:37Ask me, ask Attorney Gabby.

00:46Attorney, it is sad to see the new year of the victim's family.

00:50What can they do to get justice?

00:54It is really sad.

00:56It can also be said that no matter what they do,

00:59the child's life will not be returned,

01:02which would have been easily avoided if the driver did not obey the law.

01:07When driving in a residential area and it is dark or raining,

01:11prudence dictates that a car should not run fast.

01:16So what else can you do in an incident like this,

01:21but to file a case?

01:23The case is reckless imprudence resulting in homicide

01:27under Article 365 of the Revised Penal Code

01:31against the driver who was found guilty of the crime of imprisonment.

01:34Of course, we say reckless imprudence because we are not saying

01:39that the child's misdemeanor will change the case.

01:43This also includes the civil case for damages,

01:46including the cost of hospitalization,

01:49and also the cost of burial.

01:52We will also add moral damages for the division of the family

01:56and the automatic liability for loss of life.

02:00Take note that in the last paragraph of Article 365 of the Revised Penal Code

02:04that we mentioned earlier,

02:06in a case of reckless imprudence,

02:08this is not an accident, right?

02:10Because if this is a total accident, there is no liability.

02:13But if this is due to neglect,

02:15you are already sick,

02:17but if you left your victim,

02:20your sentence of imprisonment will be heavier by one degree

02:25because the law punishes your escape

02:28and not helping the injured person.

02:31I hope someone can see the plate number of that car.

02:34If the driver is not yet identified,

02:36it should be traced and determined using the available evidence.

02:41If there is CCTV footage in the place of the accident,

02:44this can be requested from the owner

02:47who can be forced to give this footage.

02:50I hope someone can see the plate number of that car.

02:55Attorney, in the cases of hit and run,

02:57will the case be lowered if the suspect will surrender?

03:01Under the Revised Penal Code,

03:03voluntary surrender is a mitigating circumstance.

03:09This means that the penalty of imprisonment can be lowered in a case.

03:14Although this is not guaranteed or automatic,

03:18and it also depends on the court whether the penalty will be lowered in a case.

03:23But this can be considered as a mitigating circumstance.

03:27But I hope we can guide this in life,

03:31especially in the new year, let's make this a resolution.

03:34If you were hurt, let's make it automatic.

03:37Let's help those who were hurt.

03:39And more importantly,

03:41let's avoid hurting others in the first place.

03:46With the right care,

03:47we can avoid hurting others in life.

03:52We will clarify the laws for the peace of mind.

03:57Don't think twice.

03:59Ask me, ask Attorney Gabby.
