Always obtain legal advice regarding criminal or driving charges relating to an accident. Charges arising out of an accident can seriously affect the outcome of claims for compensation related to the same accident. As well, even a minor conviction can result in a large increase in your insurance rates. Often a lawyer can have charges withdrawn or changed so as not to affect your claim for compensation or your insurance.
