Causing Serious Injury by Dangerous Driving

Dangerous Driving Offences: Causing Serious Injury

The range of careless driving causing injury penalty levels can vary a great deal. They span from cases with no custodial sentence, to the possibility of being imprisoned for several years and/or receiving an unlimited fine. A mandatory 2-year minimum period of disqualification and endorsement of penalty points is also common.

In any such case, you will require trusted legal experts to offer the ideal legal assistance. Caddick Davies Solicitors provide expert motoring solicitors, available in motoring courts across the UK. We possess outstanding expertise and experience in cases concerning causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

Contact us today for a free no-obligation initial consultation where we will look at your case and evaluate it. As per the law in England and Wales, causing serious injury by careless driving is an offence explained as “serious injury to another person, caused by the motorist driving a mechanically propelled vehicle dangerously on a road or any other public space in the UK.” Such an offence is considered to amount to the definition of grievous bodily harm or severe physical injury in Scotland.

What happens if you’re charged with Causing Serious Injury by Dangerous Driving?

If you are considered an offender, you are charged in a Crown Court or Magistrates’ Court. The penalty for causing injury through careless driving varies depending on the severity of your charge, which will also determine which court your case gets tried at.

The maximum sentence you could receive if your case is heard in the Crown Court is 5 years, while it is 6 months if tried in the Magistrates’ Court. In both cases, the imprisonment may be accompanied by a fine being given, with a driving disqualification of 2 years given.

Note that you will be required to take a test again before getting back to driving.
