Article 119 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: main aspects

Article 119 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine refers to cases when a person's death occurs as a result of careless actions or inaction of another person. When determining guilt in this crime, the court takes into account the level of carelessness and intentionality of the accused's actions or omissions. Under this article, various types of punishments can be provided, including imprisonment for a term of 3 to 8 years.

  • Responsibility and punishment. One of the key tasks of a lawyer under Art. 119 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is the maximum reduction or complete avoidance of negative consequences for the accused. The lawyer must show that the death was not due to the fault of the client, but due to unforeseen circumstances for which he is not responsible.
  • Evidence and peer review. Lawyer under Art. 119 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine must skillfully work with evidence, in particular, ensure a competent expert assessment. It is important to determine whether safety standards were violated, whether the activity was carried out in accordance with regulations, and whether the accused complied with all norms and rules.
  • Circumstances mitigating liability. The lawyer can also work on identifying circumstances that can mitigate the responsibility of the accused. This may include pleading guilty in good faith, paying pecuniary damages, or certifying that the accused has complied with all safety rules and standards available to him.
  • Legal process and advice of a lawyer. Judicial process in cases under Art. 119 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine can be complex and require a high level of professional training of a lawyer.
