Unfortunately, modern culture is such that fights are very common, especially near nightclubs and bars. Often, it is alcohol that causes such behavior of people. However, there are cases of domestic violence. Despite the reason, the removal of beatings (the procedure is carried out in the bureau of forensic medical examination) is a necessity, helping you to defend your rights and defend yourself. Now we will understand in more detail all the nuances of the case.
Concept and signs of beatings
They represent the deliberate infliction of physical harm to health of varying severity with arms or legs. Moreover, this situation is often provoked and deliberate.
Among the signs of beatings are the following:
- The infliction of 2 or more blows, as well as violent acts that suggest the presence of physical pain.
- If the situation is repeated very often, then it is already called torture. It is considered intentional mockery of a person who is moral and physical in nature.
- Physical pain. But it must be struck precisely by the blow, and not its consequences.
Sequencing
A little later you will find out where you can get an examination and what are its terms. Beating removal has a certain sequence of actions and can be done in two ways: independently and with the help of the police. In the first case, you will need to do the following:
- Contact the emergency room where you will receive first aid and a certificate is issued. The document will indicate all the damage, their nature and severity, as well as the time of applying and fixing the beatings in the medical facility.
- Write a statement and file it with the police. Moreover, it should be as detailed as possible to tell all the details of what happened.
- Pass a pre-investigation check (examination). In this case, the personal presence of an SME employee is not required. He can give an opinion on the basis of a certificate from the emergency room.
If you decide to immediately contact the investigating authorities, then the algorithm of actions will be as follows:
1. Write a statement to the police.
2. Have a forensic examination. It is made by an employee of the investigating authorities.
Now, when the removal of beatings took place and was fixed at a certain time, the police have the right to institute criminal proceedings.
When should I contact a specialist?
It should be noted that there is no specific period for all procedures. However, it is best to do everything as soon as possible. Removing the beatings in the first two days after the incident will provide an opportunity to paint a full picture of the crime.
In addition, an early visit to the doctor will allow you to receive first aid, which will help to maintain health and avoid complications. Also, experts will have the opportunity to determine the qualification of the crime, the circumstances of its commission, the motives of the attacker, the exact date of the event, with fresh traces on the body. In addition, investigators will be able to determine the cause-effect relationship in a perfect misconduct.
Where and who conducts the survey?
So, this is done by a special forensic examination bureau , which should have a license to carry out such actions. According to the data recorded in a regular clinic, a criminal case is not instituted. It should be noted that a forensic examination certificate can also be obtained in a private organization if it has a license. In this case, it will be paid. If you need to remove the beatings, the procedure involves the participation of a specialist who should carefully examine you, fix all the injuries on the body, assess their severity. The physician also indicates the way in which the harm was done. Photographs of beatings may be attached to the case.
If a forensic examination is completed, the removal of beatings is considered legitimate and may serve as a reason for trial. The main task of the service is to determine the fact of beating with all the ensuing consequences.
Very often, the party that first filed the crime is appointed the victim. However, it is she who can be the initiator of the conflict, and the accused suffered much more. In this case, the examination will help to figure out who is right and who is to blame.
A statement on the removal of beatings provides an opportunity for the victim to achieve justice and material compensation for damage. It does not have an expiration date if the beatings were removed on time and correctly.
Timing (removal of beatings must not be delayed) is important for qualifying a crime. If a minor is involved or injured in the conflict, his parents may represent him.
What punishment can be applied?
So, like any other offense, causing physical harm to a person is punishable by law. Naturally, the type of punishment will depend on the qualification of the crime, the severity of the condition of the victim, the motives of the attacker and other nuances.
If there has been a single striking or violent action, then it can be punished with a fine in the amount of 5 tax-free minimums, 200 hours of compulsory labor, correctional labor for up to a year, or 3 month arrest.
If there was a group attack or torture of the victim with threats to his family, then the offender may already receive up to 5 years in prison or restriction of liberty.
Often the parties disperse peacefully and agree to indemnify property damage without coercion by the court.
Useful legal advice
You already know where to turn for beatings. Now take note of a few recommendations that professional lawyers give:
- Try to avoid conflict and not provoke a fight in all possible ways.
- If you are beaten, scream and make noise as much as possible so that neighbors and other witnesses can hear you. So it will be easier for you to prove your case.
- During interrogation by the police, try to tell everything accurately and as truthfully as possible. Do not hide anything.
- Do not hide the problem of beating, especially if this happens regularly. If the offender is not punished, he will not stop, and at one fine time he can even kill you.
Now you know where to go to remove the beatings, and what to do next. That's all. Keep your health and be vigilant!
