In the case, the victim was hit by a car, but the driver only stuck his head out the window and drove away, which the police deemed a "minor accident" and denied the application of hit-and-run. However, the Supreme Court precedent raises a legal issue that conflicts with the police's interpretation in that the driver's awareness of the accident and leaving the scene (fleeing), rather than the severity of the accident, determines whether he or she is guilty of fleeing.

Attorney Kim Jeon-soo (Hanbyul Law Firm) emphasized, "Since the crime of escape is established only when the injury is recognized, even the slightest pain is strong evidence of the need for relief measures if there is a doctor's injury certificate." The article also suggests the need to secure objective evidence such as call recordings, CCTV, and witness statements, and to respond by accessing investigative records, applying for registration, issuing medical certificates, and filing formal complaints.
