Culpable driving

Culpable driving is the unfortunate situation where death is caused by grossly negligent driving, or driving in circumstances of significant drug or alcohol intoxication. A culpable driving charge can happen to any person at any time, and comes as a devastating blow to all concerned.

Culpable driving charges carry time off the road, as well as exposure to immediate custody. If you have been charged with culpable driving, or are under investigation by police,it cannot be more strongly emphasised that specialist drink driving lawyers should be engaged to protect you at this difficult time. We know what the law is, and how it applies to the circumstances of your case.

Contact us now to discuss your charges and the circumstances which have led to these issues. We will review your case carefully, and it is important for us to be fully briefed on what has led to the police becoming involved in the first place, whether the investigative conduct is legal and appropriate, and other circumstances relevant to determining whether there are any defences to the charge, whether the matter needs to go to court, and what are the likely penalties.
