Accident Charges
About This Charge
Being involved in an accident often brings secondary charges — failure to remain (s.200 HTA), careless driving, unsafe turns, improper lane changes, or failing to report. These charges can be layered on top of each other and used to establish civil liability in insurance disputes. Carli Geist represents clients charged as a result of accidents, reviews police reports and disclosure carefully, and challenges whether the evidence actually supports each charge — because paying the ticket is the same as admitting guilt.
Potential Consequences
- Failure to remain: up to $2,000 fine + suspension
- Multiple demerit points per charge
- Used as evidence in civil/insurance claims
- Possible criminal implications for serious accidents
Why You Need a Paralegal
Ontario traffic charges come with technical requirements the prosecution must meet. Officer notes, device calibration records, proper procedure at the roadside — if any of these are deficient, your charge can be reduced or withdrawn. Carli Geist reviews disclosure on every case to identify those weaknesses before setting foot in court.
Paralegals regulated by the Law Society of Ontario are fully authorized to represent clients in Provincial Offences Act proceedings. You get professional advocacy at a fraction of the cost of a lawyer.
