Motor Vehicle/Traffic Cases

By the Spring traffic lawyers of Smith & Garg, also serving Conroe and Montgomery County

When someone thinks of "traffic law," they generally think of annoying traffic tickets. While this does fall under the realm of traffic law, there is much more to consider if you're facing a traffic law issue in Houston, Conroe, The Woodlands, Humble, Kingwood, Tomball, Cypress or any other Houston-area community. Before you simply attempt to handle this issue on your own, you need to contact the Spring traffic lawyers at Smith & Garg, as you may have options available to you that you're not aware of and that could alleviate your stress to an extent.

Below are a few examples of traffic law violations that the Spring traffic lawyers of Smith & Garg have and will continue to handle:

Moving Violations

Moving violations in Texas could encompass several acts or omissions, including speeding, an illegal turn or illegal lane change, parking improperly or even failing to renew your license registration in a timely manner. While most of these offenses are merely handled by paying a fine, they can be more serious if you have a history of these violations, and every offense costs you "points" on your driving record and can lead to a significant rise in your insurance costs.

Reckless Driving

Reckless driving is another offense that could be related to several issues, including driving too fast for the conditions, driving in an out-of-control manner and up to endangering the lives of others because of reckless driving. Reckless driving can be treated as a simple civil forfeiture, much like a speeding ticket, but can also be charged as a crime in extreme cases.

Vehicular Homicide

Vehicular homicide is an issue that could be considered a traffic law issue, but can also be seen as akin to a murder or manslaughter charge, depending on the circumstances. If you are driving and kill someone accidentally, it's possible that you could be arrested depending on the facts of the case, and you could face felony charges if your driving was seen as reckless or even depraved.

Overall, traffic violations involve much more than just paying a parking ticket and moving on with your life. Each of these violations could carry significant consequences, and if you do face these issues, contact the Spring traffic lawyers at Smith & Garg immediately to schedule an initial consultation.
