EUR 7,000 in damages secured for the injured party through negotiation in an assault criminal case
Background of the criminal case
In a complex criminal case concerning the offence of assault and other acts of violence under Article 193 of the Criminal Code, as well as other offences, the Sabău Avocați legal team secured EUR 7,000 in damages for the injured party, exclusively through direct negotiation with the defendants.
Our client, the injured party in a criminal case concerning the offence of assault and other acts of violence, faced significant physical and emotional consequences following the assault. The injuries sustained required medical care, and the impact on their quality of life and ability to carry out daily activities was considerable.
In this context, the client turned to the Sabău Avocați team to represent their interests and identify the most effective way to obtain the damages they were owed.
The negotiation strategy adopted
After a thorough analysis of the evidence gathered in the case and the circumstances of the incident, we decided that the optimal approach was direct negotiation with the defendants — a strategy that offers significant advantages over pursuing the full judicial process: a faster resolution, lower procedural costs and, not least, certainty that the negotiated amount would actually be paid.
Our team built a solid negotiating position, grounded in the medical documentation, an assessment of the harm suffered and the relevant case law on offences against bodily integrity. This rigorous preparation allowed us to negotiate from a position of strength, presenting the defendants with a clear picture of the legal consequences they would face in the absence of an amicable settlement.
The outcome — EUR 7,000 in damages
The negotiations concluded successfully, with the defendants agreeing to pay EUR 7,000 in damages to the injured party. The amount obtained covers both the material harm — consisting of medical expenses and financial losses suffered — and the moral harm caused by the physical and psychological trauma associated with the assault.
Through this negotiated settlement, our client received full compensation for the harm suffered in a considerably shorter timeframe than a full criminal trial would have required.
Why the assistance of a criminal law specialist matters

Negotiation in criminal cases requires not only in-depth legal knowledge, but also communication skills, strategic judgment and a complete understanding of how criminal proceedings unfold.
