Garantía de los derechos de las víctimas en delitos de tránsito que tengan como resultado lesiones con incapacidad inferior a tres días.

Abstract

The current Ecuadorian criminal law has as one of its purposes, to classify criminal offenses promoting social rehabilitation to those who promote them and comprehensive reparation to those who suffer it. This in accordance with the principlesand norms contained in it that guarantee the protection of the legal assets that are protected by the Constitution of the Republic. However, there are legal situations thatarise with social evolution and whose regulation is essential, such is the case with injuries resulting from traffic violations and that cause disability for less than three days. In our country traffic injuries are only included in culpable offenses of the samematter, penalizing them with the penalties of injuries resulting from crimes that produce a minimum disability of four days. In this way, a series of rights and principlesare violated that limit the victims to receive reparation for the damage caused by suchconduct. This, consequently, could give rise to impunity for those people who, through imprudence, injure a protected legal right in traffic offenses by not imposing a sanction applicable to particular cases in which the victim's disability lasts for a minimum. up to three days.
