RECKLESS DRIVING LAWS

Under California law, an individual can be convicted of reckless driving if they drive with “willful and wanton” disregard of others’ safety (California Vehicle Code 23103 VC). Since such drivers endanger their own life and the lives of others, reckless driving is a criminal offense. If convicted, the offender’s driver’s license can be suspended, they can be sentenced to jail, and they will have a criminal record. Due to the seriousness of the charges, it’s important to seek legal counsel of a reckless driving lawyer.

The following behaviors and actions that are categorized as reckless driving:

Exceeding the posted speed limit
Speeding faster than the conditions allow, e.g., weather or traffic
Failure to use signals
Using brake falsely
Driving while passengers impair their view
Being inattentive while driving
Driving without the headlights on
Taking unnecessarily sharp turns
Racing
Driving in the wrong direction
Evading a police officer
Changing lanes repeatedly to get ahead
Doing doughnuts (drifting) in a parking lot

Stand Up For Your Rights

That your short- and long-term costs are covered is important; however, this means you’ll be pursuing a civil claim with the help of a lawyer. We can help you get compensated by building your case for the following:

Limb amputation
Internal injuries
Head, face, neck and chest injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Brain injuries
Losing function of any body part

If you are charged with being on the wrong side of the law in a reckless driving case, time and resources are critical for handling the claim. Our reckless driving lawyer will listen to your concerns and ask for the relevant information, and pursue your case. Siman Law Firm can offer you the representation you deserve; our lawyer can use the following defenses when fighting on your behalf:

You weren’t driving the vehicle
You didn’t act or drive with a malicious disregard for other’s safety
You were acting or driving in such a way due to an emergency

Your lawyer can end up reducing the charge to simply a traffic ticket, or get the judge to dismiss the case if there isn’t enough evidence available. Even if no one is hurt, you can still be charged with reckless driving. This means that your insurance premium might increase, and yo facing criminal charges, among others.
