Question 1

Can I be charged after a collision even if it wasn't my fault?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Police often lay charges after a collision based on driver statements and vehicle positions rather than anything the officer personally witnessed. This makes collision-related charges highly defensible, even when fault is unclear.

Question 2

What charges commonly arise from a traffic collision?

Accepted Answer

Common collision charges include careless driving (Section 130), following too closely (Section 158), turn not in safety (Section 142(1)), fail to report an accident, and fail to remain (Section 200). We defend all of them across Ontario.

Question 3

Why are collision charges considered highly defensible?

Accepted Answer

Because the officer usually arrives after the collision and did not see the driving, the case rests largely on statements and inferences. Our team includes retired police officers who know exactly how collision investigations work from the inside — and where the evidence falls short.
