Common Questions
Dangerous driving questions North York clients often ask.
Can building or parking video help?
Yes. Urban video can help show timing, traffic, vehicle movement, pedestrian location, and whether witness accounts are complete.
Can traffic congestion affect the case?
It can. Traffic density, lane movement, bus stops, pedestrians, and signal timing may be relevant.
Should I discuss the incident with witnesses?
Get legal advice before contacting witnesses. Preserve names and information, but avoid creating new issues.
