There are always two sides to a reckless driving case that has resulted in an accident. First, there is the side of the person who was driving dangerously. They will need to find a reckless driving lawyer to try and keep them from getting too harsh of a penalty and to work with them during the trial. Then there is the side of the person who was hit, the person who is a victim. They will need a lawyer to help them prove the other party's guilt and to get them everything that they deserve from the outcome of the trial.

For the first driver, the one who was breaking the law and caused the accident, the lawyer will try to get the charges reduced as far as possible. It will probably be hard to get them reduced all the way down to a speeding charge or some other lowly offense, but that will be the lawyer's goal. He or she will want to see how much can actually be supported by proof -- sometimes it is hard to prove that someone really was driving recklessly. In a court of law in America, if something cannot be proven, a person cannot be charged for it.

For the second driver, the attorney will work to get compensation for everything that happened in the accident. They may be able to get money to pay to fix their car. If they were injured in the accident, they can get funds to pay for the medical bills. If they cannot work any longer, they can get money to pay for lost wages. The lawyer may even be able to get them money for the pain and suffering that happened because of the unexpected accident. All of these compensations are things that the lawyer would be able to fight for that you may have a hard time getting on your own with a more limited knowledge of the laws involved.

In either case, a reckless driving lawyer is a good thing to have if you have been involved in an accident. They can help on both sides. They are very dedicated to making sure that the law is upheld and that the trial comes out in a fair manner that does not do injustice to one side or the other. Get an attorney immediately if you have been in an accident, and they will help you in any way that you need.
