Case studies

A company director faced a dangerous driving allegation after dashcam footage captured a series of overtaking manoeuvres. With their licence important for business travel, LMP Legal reviewed the evidence and made representations before a charging decision. Police accepted that the threshold for dangerous driving was unlikely to be met, reducing the matter to careless driving and offering an NDORS course instead of prosecution.

A private motorist faced investigation for causing serious injury by dangerous driving after a collision left another driver with multiple fractures. An early comment about tiredness risked becoming central to the case. Through CrashLaw24, LMP Legal intervened at the scene, prevented further potentially damaging comments and carefully prepared the driver’s account. Although convicted, the resulting custodial sentence was suspended for two years.

An HGV driver faced investigation for causing death by dangerous driving following a fatal motorway collision. After comments made at the scene raised concerns about in-cab distraction, LMP Legal’s 24/7 team intervened immediately. Careful preparation and analysis of the evidence helped ensure the incident was ultimately prosecuted as causing death by careless driving, significantly changing the sentencing exposure.

When a routine haul turned into a legal nightmare, LMP Legal was there in 30 mins. Alan's story shows why timing is everything.
