Criminal Traffic Violation Amended In Washington County

It is an unfortunate fact that accidents sometimes happen, but in some instances, an unexpected car crash can also result in criminal charges. If you are accused of a criminal traffic violation after a fender-bender, it is important to find an attorney with experience handling criminal traffic cases to protect your rights and fight for the best possible outcome. This knowledge recently aided a 50-year-old man in Washington County, who rear-ended another vehicle when he looked away to adjust his visor. When the police responded to the scene of the accident, the man was cited for reckless driving as well as careless driving, which included a possible six-month license suspension and three points being added to his license. Since the driver of the other car suffered no injuries and he knew that insurance would cover any damage that was caused, the man wanted to avoid any long-lasting repercussions and retained the services of Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys.

Attorney Samir Sarna subsequently accompanied his client to traffic court and met with all the parties involved, including the prosecutor, the responding police officers, and the driver of the other car. During their discussion, our criminal defense attorneys in Washington, PA utilized their wide-ranging knowledge of Pennsylvania traffic law and procedure to facilitate an amendment of the charges to a single, lesser violation. By updating the citation, his client would no longer face points on his license or a suspension. In the end, the man was very happy to pay a small fine and court costs in exchange for maintaining a clear criminal and driving record.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
