Criminal Defense: Accidents – Modesto Ca
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
Accidents happen. Fortunately, California law recognizes this and excuses alleged criminal conduct that occurs accidentally. If you accidentally commit an act that amounts to a crime and you do so without criminal intent or
negligence you should bear no criminal liability but may need the help of a defense attorney like Sodhi Law Group.
But in some accident cases, prosecutors may still file charges if it appears you acted with ordinary or criminal negligence. Ordinary negligence takes place when you fail to act as a “reasonably prudent” person would have. California defines criminal negligence as acting with a reckless “I don’t care what happens” attitude. A car accident that arises out of a street race or drunk driving is an example.
As long as you didn’t act with negligence and weren’t motivated by any other criminal purpose, the legal defense of accident should absolve you of liability.
