SOLICITORS FOR CARELESS DRIVING AND CAUSING DEATH BY DANGEROUS DRIVING

The offence of Careless Driving or as it is sometimes known as Driving Without Due Care and Attention, can be committed where the standard of somebody’s driving falls below the reasonable standard expected of a driver, even momentarily. The offence can be committed where a brief lapse in concentration has arisen and a person convicted could be subject to a fine, an endorsement of their driving licence and a discretionary disqualification.

There is now the offence of Causing Death by Careless Driving and if a person is convicted of causing death, either where there is a momentary lapse, the starting points the Courts will look at when sentencing is a prison sentence. These are accordingly serious offences and expert representation is crucial.

It is imperative that when faced with such a matter you seek expert representation immediately. It is highly likely that after an accident a person will be arrested, to be interviewed by police as part of their investigation into this offence and expert advice and assistance at the police station is imperative when you are at your most vulnerable and your rights most at risk.

Should you be charged with such an offence, expert and proactive representation is vital.

Obtaining of witness evidence and challenging prosecution witnesses, is crucial, as is the obtaining of a Defence Accident Reconstruction Report to challenge the findings of the Police Investigator.
