Will the crime of traffic accident be sentenced to actual punishment without a lawyer's defense?

According to 1, Article 2 of the Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in the Trial of Criminal Cases of Traffic Accidents published by the Supreme People's Court on June 5438+0 10, 2000, the crime of traffic accidents should be punished with imprisonment of not more than three years. (2) more than 3 people were killed and were equally responsible for the accident; (3) Causing direct losses to public property or other people's property, taking full or main responsibility for the accident, and unable to compensate for the amount of more than 300,000 yuan. Paragraph 2 of Article 2 stipulates that if a traffic accident causes serious injuries to more than 1 person, and bears all or the main responsibility for the accident, and has one of the following circumstances, he shall be convicted and punished for the crime of traffic accident: (1) driving a motor vehicle after drinking or taking drugs; (2) driving a motor vehicle without driving qualification; (three) driving a motor vehicle knowing that the safety device is incomplete or the safety components are out of order; (4) Driving while knowing that it is an unlicensed or scrapped motor vehicle; (five) serious overload driving; (six) to escape from the scene of the accident in order to escape legal investigation. In general traffic accident cases, as long as compensation is actively paid to the victim and a letter of understanding is obtained from the victim or his family, the court will not sentence him to actual punishment, which has little to do with inviting a lawyer. Of course, it will be more professional to ask a lawyer to coordinate the amount of compensation for the victims.
