RECKLESS IMPRUDENCE RESULTING TO PHYSICAL INJURY.

in prelim investigation, the prosecutor determines whether he believes that a crime has been committed and it was the respondent who committed it. palitan kayo ng affidavits.

respondent will submit counter affidavit, then you can reply and they a rejoinder. you can use the police report now, if he personally investigated then he can be a witness but note he did not personally witness the incident.

you already have at least 2 witnesses, you and your husband. also important is the physical evidence on the damage on the car and motorcycle. try to look for a witness who has an official duty such as a bgy tanod who saw the incident.

you can have the scared witnesses subpoenaed but they might not appear and usually they are unreliable. good luck.

Katatapos lang ng prelim investigation. Kinuhaan lang ng counter affidavit ung respomdemt. Binabaligtad nila ang nangyari. Kami daw ang bumangga. Sino kaya ang magandang gumawa ng reply to counter-affidavit? Magkano naman po ang fee? Mas maganda po bang in Tagalog ito or English? Anong mangyayari on the next meeting? Thanks a lot.

Hi. Hingi po sana ako ng advice. Last July 4, sakay po kaming motor ng bf ko nung masabitan kami ng elf truck kasi kinain nya yung lane namin. Naputol po yung left index finger ng bf ko habang ako eh nagkaroon ng malalim na hiwa sa tuhod. Kinulong po yung driver ng truck pero pinakawalan din po kinabukasan kasi dumating yung may ari ng truck at pumirma sa kasulatan na sasagutin ang medical bills namin. Pero ang binayaran nya lang eh yung bill sa unang ospital na pinagdalhan samin. Nung inilipat kami sa mas malapit na ospital sa bahay namin eh di na sumasagot sa text o tawag yung may ari. May habol po kaya kami sa may ari ng truck para mabayaran yung medical bills namin? umabot po kasi ito ng 100k. tapos hanggang ngayon po eh nagpapa-check up pa po kami.

Mag file na agad kayo ng kaso sa prosecutor’s office sa inyong lugar, reckless imprudence resulting to physical injury and damage to property (kung sira ung sasakyan nyo). 2 months lang daw ang validity ng pag file sa ganitong case. Pwedeng ang gumawa ng complaint eh abogado pero hindi necessary na sya ang magiging abogado mo, or pulis kung saan nangyari ang insidente. Attached mo sa complaint mo ang medico-legal nyong 2 ng BF mo, Police Report, lahat ng resibo ng pinagbayaran nyo,estimate ng sira ng sasakyan, pictures ng damages sa sasakyan nyo tsaka truck if possible, license ng BF mo, OR/CR ng sasakyan nyo, license ng truck driver, OR/CR ng truck. Maghanap kayo ng witness na pwedeng magbigay ng statement. Kung may written agreement kayo nung may ari ng truck attached mo din.God bless.

Good day, atty. In relation dun sa case na file namin, nakalagay pos a counter-affidavit nila na pumirma nap o ang asawa ko sa quitclaim, nun po kasi nagkita sila nagbigay ng pang additional medicines ung respondent, pinapirma sya nakalagay, I, _____gave 1,500 to ______ for additional medicine. In return, waving all his rights to ask anymore compensation in any form. Valid po ba ito? Tapos settled na daw po ang kaso kasi pumirma na ang asawako sa Claim Status Advise ng insurance, Ito po kasi ung tungkol sa Claim sa Property Damage, nung pagka estimate namin inivaluate nila, tapos nag release ng ganitong form para ma prepare ung check. D namin kinuha ung check kasi in exchange nung check is the release of claim form tsaka ung affidavit of desistance. Tsaka nung June 4, nag-abot din ng blank affidavit of desistance ang respondent na hindi naman naming binalik sa kanya. Ginawa nilang evidence ung check ng insurance pero syempre hindi pa na re-receive kasi nakikipagtalo ako sa nilalaman ng affidavit of desistance.
Hindi naman po nila na meet ung kasunduan sa police station na shoulder nila ang expenses for hospitralization, medicines tsaka repair. Kasi nga hindi pa magaling ang fractured bone ng asawa ko. Nakalagay din pos a counter nya na ung pag settle nya ng mga bills eh hindi admission ng gulit kung hindi humanitarian reason lang.
Please tulong naman po. Any idea lang po. Salamat.

zamzy, those matters may affect only the civil liability, but not his criminal liability. this does not exculpate him from his reckless act.

don't make your reply revolve only about money. stick to the point that he committed a reckless act that led to injury. as for the these waivers, argue that these were purely prepared by the other party and did not serve to cancel the orig agreement at the police station

Maraming salamat atty. Marami po talaga kayong natutulungan sa site na ito. And I will try my best na makatulong din sa iba as per my experience. Madami talagang instrument ang Diyos para sa taong katulad namin. GOD BLESS ALL OF US….

hi, i know you can help me with this. it was at about 8:45-9:00pm when i was hit by a jeep inside the parking lot of starmall. he rushed me to the nearest hospital and promised me to pay for all the hospitalization and expenses needed for my recovery. i got a fractured on my lower left leg in which i need an operation. my father did not filed the case at that moment because they had a written agreement that we will pursue the case if he did not pay all expenses i need for my recovery.

operation has been done and he paid us 35,000 as partial payment for the plate of my leg. i asked the doctor if i can go home and have the therapy at home because the bill is gitting higher faster than i expeceted and thinking that the driver will have a hard time look for the resources to pay for all the hospitalizaion. then he did not appear on the day for the payment. the hospital automatically charged it to my medical insurance.

then my father continued to filed the case, he did appear on the 1st hearing and its on the second hearing he submitted his counter affidavt. there he stated a lot of things. but my question is; MERON BANG BATAS DITO SA PILIPINAS NA NAGSASABI NA KASALANAN NG DRIVER ANG MAKABANGGA NG TAO O KAHIT ITO PA AY KASALANAN NG TAO.

kc po may nakapag kwento po saken na dito sa pilipinas ay meron tayong ganitong batas. at pinapalabas nya po sa kanyang affidavit na kasalanan ko ang nangyari kaya po gusto ko lang po magkaroon ng linaw kung totoo ito o meron tayong ganitong batas.....maraming salamat po

Sa pagkakaalam ko, ang driver ang may responsibilidad sa kanyang dinadaanan. Kahit isang baliw na nagsasayaw sa daan wala syang karapatan na bangggain. Mas maganda tumigil sya at paalisin ito kapag nabangga nya ito liability pa din nya ito sa batas. Parati kailangan ng pag-iingat sa lahat ng pagkakataon kahit na may overpass pa at hindi ka don dumaan nabangga ka ang driver pa rin ang may responsibilidad na wala siyang masasaktan.
Sa prosecutor’s office ka ba nag file ng case kasi sa pagkakaalam ko kapag may probable cause naman ang case at hindi nakipag settle ang respondent isasampa na ito sa Korte. Medyo matagal lang ang proseso kapag umakyat pa sa Korte. Basta itabi mo lahat ng Original Recipt ng mga bills na nagastos mo sa pagpapagamot tsaka ung biniling gamot kakailanganin mo yan.
God Bless.

there is no such law that the pedestrian is automatically at fault. it always depends on the circumstances that can be proven as to who was negligent.

Gud day atty.don sa case namin, pwede pa ba kaming claim sa insurance ng motor namin para maipa operahan na ang husband ko kahit na nakakuha na kami ng certificate of No Claim na ibinigay naming dun sa respondent para mai process ung repair ng sasakyan through their TPL. ? And halimabawa po ma cover ung operation ng Health Card namin, pwede pa po bang i-charge un sa insurance namin? Thanks a lot.

it depends on what kind of insurance coverage you have. if it's just tpl, then no. check your policy

This will be a good case for future jurisprudence in the Supreme Court. However, most of the cases that reached the Highest Tribunal have put the fault on the driver of the vehicle because in transportation and law on damages, the driver is always presumed negligent or at fault. AttyLLL is right, present your evidence as best as you can.

so attyLLL, in my case, sino sa tingin mo ang may mas higit na may kasalanan sa nangyari. sa parking lot kc ako nasagasaan kung saan dun ang terminal nila, basically lahat ng testigo papanig sa kanila. ano ba magandang pwedeng ilaban sa kanya.

we can't predict what will happen your case. have you filed it? good luck.

Good day, atty.
Magpapagawa sana kami ng reply to affidavit sa lawyer nag suggest ung kaibigan naming na kausapin ung boss nya na mag nar exam pa lang this year, for advise, sabi nung law student na un, huwag na daw kaming gumawa ng reply, pakiusapan na lang daw ung fiscal na isampa na ang kaso sa korte. Pwede po ba un wala kaming dalang reply sa next hearing?
May sinasabi pa pong docket fee na babayaran? Mag file daw kami ng civil case? Hindi bap o automatic kapag reckless imprudence resulting to physical injuries & damage to property eh both criminal & civil case na ang nakasampa? Kailangan pa bang sabihin na magsasampa ung civil cae?
May sinabi pa po ung law student na sa SMALL CLAIMS COURT daw po kami magsampa. Pwede po ba ang small claims court for criminal cases?
Sabi po nya Quitclaim na daw po ung pinirmahan naming,Claim Status Advise po, nakalagay we have evaluate the loss at Php -------- net policy deductible to 0.00 and depreciation charges in the amount of 0.00. Please advise us your conformity so we can have the cheque prepared. Attached herewith is our evaluation for your reference. Ung reference po ung estimate ng sasakyan. Quitclaim po ba yan? D po namin kunuha ung check kasi nagpapairma ng desistance.
Dun pos a counter affidavit ng respondent, parang na misinterpret nya ung Police Report, kasi po ginawa nilang evidence ung police report, nakalagay po dun, Both vehicle while travelling on the said road towards facing south. V1 (our) in front of V2 (respondents), v2 overtaking at V1 at the side of the road. Ang nakalagay pos a counter-affidavit nya, they are on the right side (shoulder lane) (south) so I went ahead akala nya daw pa diretso kami. As evidence by the police report nasa right side daw kami (south? We assume ung kasama nyang lawyer ang gumawa nun. Simpleng English lang po ung nasa police report bakit po nabago ang pagkakaintindi nila, at ginawa pang evidence ang Police Report.
Thank you very much. I hope you will not stop answering our questions. GOD BLESS>

the purpose of a reply affidavit is to point out errors in the counter-affidavit and provide additional evidence if there is any.

i recommend that you just prepare your reply by pointing out the errors in the facts stated in the counter, particularly in the interpretation of the police report. it is always better to have your own lawyer, but if not, then i would recommend that you do it yourself rather than not having a reply at all.

it is possible to file a separate civil case for damages and the weight of evidence required is only preponderance, not beyond reasonable doubt. if the amount of damages is no more than P100k, you can file a civil case. but this is not mandatory, you are correct in stating that the civil case will be deemed filed along with the criminal case.

hi,

tungkol po ito sa kaso ng kapatid ko nangyari itong bangaan noong March 2010, (Reckless Imprudence resulting to damage to property)
* resulting to property lang po kasi wala naman po kaming nasaktan na tao.

Nabanga po ng kapatid ko yung fx ng nagrereklamo habang ang kapatid ko ay nag aatras ng sasakyan niya. aminado naman po kami sa nangyari. Noong inimbestigahan po kami sa pulis hindi naman po namin itinangi yung kasalanan namin. At sabi po ng pulis ay areglohin na lang po yung kaso namin... inareglo po namin yung kaso, pinatignan po namin sa pagawaan ng sasakyan kung mag kano ang pag papagawa, ang sabi ng talyer ay nasa 6000 pesos po ang repair nung sasakyan.. noong babayaran na namin po ito sa police station ayaw pong tangapin ng may ari ng nabanga namin dahil kulang daw po ito kasi po yung fx ay gamit nila sa araw araw na negosyo nila at humihingi po sila ng karagdagan pera para dun sa araw na ang sasakyan nila ay hindi nakakabiyahe at noong araw na nadisgrasya ang sasakyan nila. Ang sagot po namin na kung pwede ay sa insurance na lang namin idaan yung pag papagawa nung sasakyan, hindi rin sila pumayag dahil matagal daw po ang proseso ng ganitong paraan. Hindi po kami nag kasundo nung araw na iyon.. at ngayon po nag file sila ng kaso sa amin nangkakahalaga ng 7500 handa pa rin po namin itong bayaran....ito po ang mga tanong ko ...

1. kailangan pa po bang kumuha kami ng abogado para sa arraignment namin?

2. yung ginawa po naming counter affidavit ay pwede po bang i-submit sa husgado na kami lang po ang gumawa at pinanotaryo sa abogado?

3. pano po ito ma di-dismiss sa arraignment, ano po ang dapat naming gawin?

4. At nakalagay po sa kaso namin ay RECKLESS IMPRUDENCE RESULTING TO PHYSICAL INJURY AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
Ngunit wala naman po kaming nasaktan na tao, tama po ba ito at pano pa namin ito sasabihin sa korte na wala po kaming nasaktan na tao?


Sano po ay matulungan niyo kami sa aming kaso dahil natatakot po kami na humarap sa arraignment namin dahil baka po bigla na lang arestuhin ang kapatid...

Salamat po at more power po sa inyo....

if you cannot afford an attorney, the PAO lawyer at the court will be assigned to you.

you can allege during the arraignment that you are willing to pay the amount of damages if the private complainant is present and willing to accept the payment.

you will not be arrested if you appear at the arraignment. but if you do not appear, then a warrant of arrest will be issued.

it will be their burden to prove that someone was hurt. this is normally proved through a medico-legal certificate.

thank you po sa sagot...
at alam po namin ay yung damage namin ay 6000 lang po base po iyon nung nag ka imbestigasyon sa pulisya
tanong pa po...
-sa Sept 29 po kasi yung arraignment, ok lang po ba na hindi na kami mag file ng counter affidavit for the reason na mag babayad naman kami ng damages namin sa sept 29. Monday po kasi yung 10 days para makapag file kami ng counter affidavit eh.
- kung nag bayad po kami during arraignment ano pong papeles ang pwede namin hingiin sa korte para sa katunayan na nagbayad kami ng damages namin?

wait, wait. did this notice come from the MTC or the prosecutor's office?

you mention arraignment and that is by the MTC.

sabay pong dumating sa amin yung sulat sa iisang envelope na yung isang papel from municipal trial court ng cainta na nasasabi na meron po kaming 10 days to file a counter affidavit at kung kailan yung arraignment... yung isang papel naman po ay from prosecutoors office ng cainta na may nakalagay na INFORMATION sa heading niya.. ang nakalagay naman dun ay yung charges sa amin na reckless imprudence resulting to injury and damage to property... itong mga papel pong ito ay natanggap namin friday of last week...

tama po na yung ganun na paraan ng korte???

Question pa po.. sa arraignment po ba regarding sa kaso ko po guilty po ba ang sasabihin namin o not guilty po?
