Cases Involving Accidents

I had an accident and was arrested for DWI, but the officer never saw me driving or even in the vehicle. Was my arrest legal?

You can be arrested for DWI even if the officer doesn’t see you driving or in physical control of the vehicle if you are at the scene of a traffic accident and the officer has probable cause to believe that you were guilty of DWI.

My insurance agent keeps calling wanting a statement from me regarding the accident. What should I do?

Although under your insurance policy you are probably obligated to cooperate with your insurance agent or adjuster, you must be cautious in what information you provide. Any information or statements provided can be used against you in any pending criminal case. Therefore, you should contact your attorney for advice on how to proceed and what information you should not divulge.

As a result of my accident, I’m also being sued by the owner the vehicle I hit. Could this civil case affect the outcome of my criminal case?

Yes. Any statements made in connection with a civil lawsuit can be used against you in your criminal case. You should immediately consult both a criminal and civil attorney to ensure that your rights are protected in both the civil and criminal cases.

What can I do to protect my 5th Amendment Right to Remain Silent?

You should consult both a civil and criminal attorney immediately to ensure that your 5th Amendment right to remain silent is preserved. Under certain circumstances, your actions in relation to a civil case could affect the preservation of your 5th Amendment rights in a related criminal case.
