Receiving a notice of investigation or discovering you are under investigation for serious road injuries is a moment of profound bewilderment and concern. The legal, personal, and professional consequences of such an accusation can seem insurmountable. In these circumstances, relying on competent legal guidance from the very first moments is crucial. As a criminal lawyer in Milan, Avv. Marco Bianucci understands the urgency and delicacy of these situations, offering legal support aimed at protecting the rights of the accused and clarifying the actual dynamics of the accident.
The Offence of Serious Road Personal Injuries
The Italian legal system severely punishes those who, by violating traffic regulations, negligently cause serious or very serious personal injury to someone. The offence is constituted not only in cases of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, but also for violations of the highway code such as speeding, running a red light, or failing to yield. The severity of the injury is assessed based on the days of clinical prognosis and any permanent consequences suffered by the victim.
In addition to criminal penalties, which can include imprisonment, the accused risks heavy ancillary administrative sanctions. These include the suspension or, in the most extreme cases, the revocation of the driving license. Such measures profoundly affect the daily life and working capacity of the person involved, making a comprehensive defence strategy essential.
The Approach of the Bianucci Law Firm in Criminal Defence
Facing an accusation of road injuries requires rigorous technical preparation and careful analysis of the accident dynamics. The approach of Avv. Marco Bianucci, an expert criminal lawyer in Milan, is based on the meticulous reconstruction of facts, leaving nothing to chance. In these specific proceedings, the correct management of evidence and the strategic use of kinematic expert reports are often decisive for the outcome of the trial.
Kinematic expert reports allow for the scientific reconstruction of the speed of the vehicles involved, the exact points of impact, the trajectories followed, and, above all, the potential contributory negligence of the victim or third parties. The Bianucci Law Firm collaborates with qualified technical consultants to analyse every single detail of the accident. This synergistic work aims to dismantle hasty accusatory reconstructions, highlighting elements in favour of the accused that may not have emerged from the initial surveys conducted by law enforcement at the scene of the accident.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I am investigated for serious road injuries?
If you are registered as a suspect for this offence, you will receive a notice of investigation. From that moment, preliminary investigations begin, during which the Public Prosecutor will gather evidence to decide whether to request committal for trial or dismissal of the case. It is crucial to immediately appoint a trusted defence lawyer to actively participate in unrepeatable technical assessments, which often take place precisely in this very early procedural phase.
Is a kinematic expert report always necessary in case of an accident?
Although not legally mandatory, from a strategic point of view, it is almost always fundamental. Testimonies or photographic surveys alone can prove insufficient, incomplete, or misleading. An expert report prepared by a party-appointed technician allows for the translation of the accident dynamics into irrefutable scientific data, providing the judge with an objective interpretation that can make a difference in assessing responsibility.
Do I risk losing my driving license if I am investigated for road injuries?
Yes, the risk is concrete and immediate. The Prefect can order the provisional suspension of the driving license during the preliminary investigation phase, as a precautionary measure. In case of a subsequent final conviction, the judge will apply the ancillary administrative sanction of suspension or revocation. A careful criminal defence also aims to counter or minimize these ancillary restrictions.
How much does it cost to be assisted by a lawyer for road injuries?
The costs of a criminal proceeding depend on numerous factors specific to each case. Elements such as the complexity of the accident dynamics, the need to appoint party-appointed technical consultants for kinematic investigations, the number of hearings, and the choice of procedural route influence the professional commitment required. During the first consultation, Avv. Marco Bianucci will analyse the situation to provide a clear and transparent overview of the expected financial commitment, as it is impossible to provide reliable estimates a priori without a case assessment.
