None of us plan to be involved in a car accident and the surprising event falls on us like thunder on a clear day.
Most of the time we are confused, helpless and do not know how to drive.
Accidents often lead to difficult consequences, and in addition to damage to vehicles, people are also involved, some of whom are physically injured.
Adv. Shai Gilad has been specializing in road accidents for 30 years and will help us understand how to drive when we are involved in an accident.
First, Adv. Red David.
While the forensic evidence scattered around the area should not be touched - plastic fragments, wing mud or squeak marks on the road, as it is the job of the police to look into these things when they arrive, it is important to assist and call forces otherwise the accident involved may be charged with abandoning the injured.

Adv. Gilad, of course, recommends cooperating with the police, but says that one very important thing must be remembered - the right of every person to consult a lawyer before an investigation, and preferably a lawyer who specializes in the field. His version, to end the matter and perhaps even save the lawyer's fee - and this may be to the detriment of the person who was involved in the accident.

Gilad clarifies that a good lawyer will not "build a version" of the person involved in an accident but advised him to tell the truth. However, Adv. Gilad mentions that verifying many faces and different angles and it is possible that angles that are dark for the person involved are very important and if he does not detail them on the spot, at the interrogation stage, but only later can his confession be considered unresponsive.
And what happens after the initial stage? According to Adv. Gilad, the procedure may end with the collection of testimony and the person involved may be called in for further investigation and confronted with evidence gathered. Involved in order to know with the case is closed or if an indictment is issued against him.

Gilad explains that in cases where the police believe that the driver involved is dangerous, it has the authority to revoke a license for a limited period of time prescribed by law. The police have the authority to revoke a license for 60 days in the event of an accident and if it is a fatal accident for 90 days. Beyond this period, a court can extend the disqualification until the end of the proceedings.
Advocate Gilad says that it can be said with complete confidence that in quite a few cases involved in an accident who consulted professional lawyers in the field did themselves a favor, ie there were cases where it was decided not to file an indictment or the court was convinced of their justice and acquitted them. With lawyers and probably gave him all the details accurately - which led to a less good result for them.
