A driver who negligently injures someone can be looking at negligent injury under the Criminal Code. As a rule it only goes forward if someone files a complaint. Repairing the car, with nothing written about the person or the criminal side, still leaves them able to complain. The other way around is just as unfinished: they say they won't file, nothing gets withdrawn, and the settlement doesn't say it.
Mediation while the prosecutor is looking, and a civil settlement, are not the same piece of paper. I'm not drafting the complaint. I also wouldn't tell you to file first just to scare them.
What you can do first
- 01Check for a diagnosis certificate. No injury, don't start with negligent injury.
- 02If the settlement is meant to cover the criminal side, have a lawyer read whether that sentence is actually finished.
- 03Windows like six months are easy to miscount. If it's getting close, ask someone who can look at your dates. Don't ask me.

Rewritten in my own words. Not a judgment and not a law firm's article. If a number shows up, it belonged to that public discussion, not to you. Check the Judicial Yuan judgment system. These started as public discussions of car crashes. I rewrote them here. Not a law firm's article.
I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not a mediator. I can't decide this for you. The statute that counts is the one still in force. Judgments live on the Judicial Yuan site.
