Highway Traffic Act Offences
Ontario DUI Lawyer Irving Solnik practices d
riving offences under the Highway Traffic Act include careless driving, reckless driving, dangerous driving, drunk driving and other offences that can also fall under the criminal code. These offences have the potential to greatly impact your life and should be taken very seriously.
For example, Irving Solnik is currently representing a client who hit a pedestrian when the pedestrian carelessly stepped out in front of his car. The pedestrian was an indigent woman in her late 60s leaving a liquor store and carrying her purchased liquor in a bag as she crossed the main artery of the highway—where there was no crossing zone.
Irving Solnik’s client was driving his mother’s car at the time; the vehicle was uninsured, unbeknownst to the driver. As a result of this accident, the injured woman suffered memory loss. She is now pursuing legal action to receive $200,000 in damages from the uninsured young man. Since the mother is the owner of the car, the injured woman also sought to obtain monetary compensation from her. Neither Irving Solnik’s client or his client’s mother have the ability to pay out such a judgment.
After two pre-trials where both judges indicated that the young man would be responsible for the injuries of the pedestrian, the young man sought the assistance of Irving Solnik. During a third pre-trial, Irving Solnik was able to convince a judge that his client should not be held liable for the plaintiff’s injuries.
Irving Solnik pointed out that the woman had Tylenol 3 and morphine in her handbag at the time of the accident—and when at the hospital, she saved the pain pills offered to her so she could take them later. Clearly, she had a drug problem which could be partially to blame for the memory problems she currently suffers from.
While the outcome of this case is still pending, it’s important to understand that a Highway Traffic Act offence can happen to anybody at anytime. When it does, you need the experienced and aggressive legal representation of Irving Solnik.
Drunk Driving in Ontario
Drunk or impaired driving in Ontario is a very serious offence. A blood-alcohol level of .08 or higher is considered impaired and means that you are subject to license suspension for up to one year, a steep fine and even imprisonment if this isn’t your first offense. The consequences increase if someone is injured or killed as a result of impaired or drunk driving.
While many believe they can avoid the charge of DUI or DWI by simply failing to comply with a breathalyzer or field sobriety test, the truth is—refusing such tests can be considered a criminal offence all on its own. It is best to comply with police officers when they want to test your blood-alcohol level; even if you fear the results.
You are Innocent until Proven Guilty
