How We Can Help

Facing an allegation of failing to stop or report an accident can be overwhelming, but we are here to support you. At TML, our experienced legal team will work tirelessly to protect your rights, your licence, and your future.

Building a Defence

We will investigate your case thoroughly, examining every detail to identify potential defences, for example:

• You Were not the Driver: Proving that you were not driving the vehicle at the time.
• You Complied with the Law: Showing that you stopped and provided details or reported the accident as required.
• You Were Unaware of the Accident: If you genuinely did not know a collision occurred, this could be a valid defence.
• Medical Emergency: A sudden and unforeseeable medical event that made stopping impossible may excuse your actions.
• Fear for Safety: If you had reasonable grounds to fear for your safety (e.g., road rage or threats), this could justify not stopping.
• Accident on Private Property: The law applies to public roads and places, so accidents on private property may not qualify.

We will also challenge any evidence the prosecution relies on, such as witness statements or CCTV footage, to strengthen your defence.

What Happens If You Plead Guilty?

If pleading guilty is the best option, we will help minimise the impact. Our team will:

• Collect and present mitigation evidence on your behalf, such as personal circumstances or evidence of good character.
• Highlight factors like your cooperation, clean driving record, or any steps you’ve taken to address the issue.
• Work to reduce penalties and avoid harsher outcomes like custodial sentences.
