Traffic & liability

You participate in traffic every day, whether by car, bicycle or scooter, on foot or by public transport. Increasing road congestion increases the risk of traffic violations and accidents. Traffic law plays an important role in protecting road users and resolving conflicts that arise from traffic accidents or violations.

Our attorneys at Caluwaerts Uytterhoeven provide comprehensive legal assistance to both victims of traffic accidents and those accused of traffic violations or other criminal offences. We also offer support in settling the civil aspect of traffic accidents, such as insurance conflicts.

 

Expert legal advice and traffic law 

Our expertise in traffic law enables us to guide you through a variety of situations. We offer assistance in cases such as:

  • Speeding;
  • Ignoring a red light;
  • Driving with a driving ban;
  • Using a phone while driving;
  • Leaving the scene of an accident;
  • Alcohol intoxication or drunkenness;
  • Driving under the influence of drugs;
  • Driving without a valid MOT or insurance;
  • Traffic accidents involving property damage or physical injury;
  • Vehicle impoundment after a traffic violation;
  • Failure to promptly provide details of an offending driver.

Our lawyers will help you analyse your situation and provide clear legal advice. If necessary, we will assist you in proceedings before the police court or other legal authorities.

 

Traffic law and legal aid 

In many cases, your car insurance includes legal cover which covers the costs of legal representation, fees and administrative costs. We are happy to investigate for you whether your policy includes legal cover; this can make a significant difference in your traffic law case.

 

Damages and liability in traffic law 

In addition to the criminal aspect of traffic law, we can also assist you with damage claims and liability issues. Traffic cases often include claims arising from traffic accidents, and we can help you take the necessary steps. Our firm provides detailed claim calculations and support for complex claims files. If necessary, we can assist you in obtaining civil party status.

Our legal assistance in traffic law and liability cases includes the following:

  • Traffic accidents involving property damage or physical injury;
  • Assault and injuries, whether intentional or otherwise;
  • Damage caused by a minor;
  • Damage due to a defect in a purchased product or the sale of an allegedly defective product;
  • Damage due to fire or burglary;
