This is a crime of injury, and your family has committed a crime of injury. The court will investigate your family's criminal liability in accordance with the provisions of the criminal law. However, the civil compensation part of injury cases can be mediated, and the defendant and the victim can jointly negotiate compensation under the auspices of the court. If the negotiation is successful, the victim's economic losses can be protected and realized to the maximum extent; the defendant's positive attitude towards compensation and the victim's understanding can be used as the basis for the court to impose a lighter punishment on the defendant. Therefore, when courts generally hear such injury cases, they have a pre-trial civil compensation mediation process.
After a criminal case reaches the court, if the family members want to know the facts of the case in a timely manner, effectively protect the rights and interests of the defendant, and fully understand the legal application of the case, they should hire a lawyer for the defendant in a timely manner. The defense lawyer will directly and comprehensively introduce the case to you and your family, explain the application of the law, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the defendant.
