Death by Dangerous Driving

Where the dangerous driving in which you were engaged leads to the death of another person – whether pedestrian, other driver or a person in the vehicle you are driving, then you will become subject to the more serious offence of causing death by dangerous driving. It is essential that you have the best representation which you can get for this and that those representing you have the confidence and knowledge to represent you in the Crown Court.

You will potentially be facing not only a disqualification of at least two years and between 3 and 11 penalty points but also the possibility of a term of imprisonment for up to fourteen years. You cannot, therefore, afford to take any chances.

Keepmedriving and Richard Nelson Solicitors have extensive experience of cases before the Crown Court and can assist you at all stages – from the very outset when the police first become involved, right through to sentencing and appeal. We will look carefully at the prosecution evidence and advise you as to its relative merits and weaknesses and will advise you frankly about the chances of your successfully defending the allegation. In the event that you are unable to do so we can advise you fully on how to present the best possible mitigation.
