Death by careless driving covers cases where a driver’s breach of the standard of careful driving results in a fatality. A solicitor in this area helps someone charged with causing death by careless or inconsiderate driving, or similar offences under the Road Traffic Act 1988, to understand the charge, review evidence, and prepare a defence or mitigation. They handle advising on disclosure, appointing experts, instructing counsel, reviewing police cautions and driving records, and representing the client at magistrates’ court or, if appropriate, in Crown Court proceedings. The work often turns on the driver’s level of fault and the circumstances surrounding the collision.

“I just want to say how fantastic and amazing Forbes solicitors are, I only told them about my case last Friday and had my court appearance this morning, I thought I would be serving time in prison or community service with 6-12 month ban, possibly being on tag. But David Scully did wonders in court, gave me an early Christmas miracle, outcome was low fine and 6 points and I can drive again and get my life back on track, so massive shout out to a friend of friend introducing me to Paolo Passerini & David Scully, I can’t thank you both enough. If you want real people who our solicitors and highly professional, who care about each individual then this is the firm. Kind regards C V ”

“After phoning around a number of solicitors and been quoted crazy money I was advised to speak to Poole and Alcock by a friend of mine. Best decision I could have made. Tim Edgley was refreshing to deal with and made me feel extremely comfortable in a worrying time. The outcome of the case was 100% better than expected and can’t thanks Tim and the team enough. Highly recommend. ”

Chris Wong
Director and Criminal Defence Solicitor
Works with Kathryn Lill
“Can’t recommend Chris enough, from the first phone conversation I had with him he put me at ease, was easy to talk to, non judgemental and down to earth. I gave him the full story, even probably irrelevant details and he was patient and understanding. His knowledge of the area really shone through as he was then able to take on the information I’d thrown at him, understand my situation and translate it into something the magistrates would understand. He went above and beyond, even supporting and advising my family through the process. He was straight talking, honest, and gave me full confidence. I went in with very realistic expectations, set by Chris, these were then exceeded, so I am incredibly grateful. Thank you for all of your support and understanding Chris. ”
