Death by Dangerous Driving Solicitors

“I was involved in a fatal road traffic accident on the M6 Motorway on the outskirts of Birmingham in 2017. This was a very difficult time for me and my family because I felt awful that I might have been the cause for the death of another person because of careless driving, I felt awful for potentially being responsible for the death of a son, husband and father. At the same time, I was concerned about my own family and receiving a prison sentence. A prison sentence would have been life changing for me and my family because my wife did not work, and we had recently had a new addition to our family. I was also worried and stressed about how my family would survive financially if I were to be given a prison sentence, I had sleepless nights for many months.

I was initially given a solicitor through my legal expenses insurance and within a few weeks of them being appointed as my lawyers, I got the impression that they didn’t understand how this case would impact upon my life. I found that the panel law firm didn’t return my calls or e-mails either. As the consequences of a conviction and prison sentence would be life changing, I instructed a law firm in London privately.

The London criminal law firm was no better than the firm I had through my insurance company, even though I was paying privately. I got the impression that they were very unsure about their advice and didn’t know much about causing death by careless or dangerous driving.

A family member suggested that I contact Kang & Co Solicitors in Birmingham as they have a very good reputation for these types of cases. I met with Mr Kang and immediately found him to have passion for representing clients and within moments I could tell that he had a wealth of experience and had dealt with many fatal road traffic accidents. He explained everything in simple terms and made sure I knew about every aspect of my case. When he looked through the papers in the case he contacted me and raised some very good points which the other two solicitors had overlooked. Mr Kang spoke with the police and within several weeks the case was discontinued due to the issues he had raised.    

The fact that Mr Kang was able to identify weaknesses within the prosecution case that the lawyers at two other firms hadn’t speaks volumes of his attention to detail and skill.     

I am grateful for the skill, support and advice provided by Mr Kang and I honestly believe that if I had stayed with my previous solicitors, I would not be seeing my daughter grow up.”

I instructed Kang & Co Solicitors to represent my nephew, in a very serious charge brought against him, causing death by dangerous driving.

On Initial advice from Manjinder Kang, he was very courteous and took time to listen and understand what had happened. Mr Kang then guided us through the entire legal process and was so polite and respectful throughout. He was clear and concise in all his very detailed communication with us. His knowledge of any driving matters is second to none.

Mr Kang is very kind, honest and caring but make no mistake he is a tenacious and very stoic solicitor. His work ethics is a cut above the rest. Through 13 months of significant stress, he communicated with us at every step keeping us well informed and up to date. Any questions I had to mind, were responded promptly and in detail. All avenues were explored on discussion of the case. Mr Kang’s unique way of providing analogies gave myself and my nephew a better understanding of his position.

My huge appreciation for the very hard work that was put into my nephews case. I was initially sceptical in instructing an, private criminal defence team and was thinking to obtain legal aid as this was an open option, but the reality is monetary value will always be earned, irrespective of any amounts payable to a private firm. I do not regret instructing them at all, having said that I’m extremely happy with the outcome, it was inevitable my nephew would have faced a custodial sentence, it was a case of how long.

Mr Kang took hold of the case and took it forward day by day. During our regular conferences Mr Kang spent several hours collecting information and understanding the family set up, he listened to the family history, he was interested in what we said and was passionate about getting us a good outcome. He was compassionate, supportive and actually inspirational. Mr Kang gave us such a boost; the boost of hope that we so much needed at a time when the whole family was very low, which helped us fight until the end.

The damage control aspect of a custodial sentence was thoroughly discussed and a clear plan was in place to secure the best possible sentence. That being the lowest range of the sentencing guideline bracket, the defence team including a very experienced barrister, managed to secure just that, having received the best outcome possible, I am forever very grateful for the professionalism and integrity of all involved. The legal team clearly had relevant experience of similar cases and I was very impressed with their knowledge and the detailed attention they brought to the case.

At times I had many questions and would often relay this to Mr Kang, his prompt fast replies would put me at ease. As the case was progressing, a major concern was COVID-19, as due to this we would be restricted in having regular face to face conferences, Mr Kang proactively managed to set up virtual conferences. He was very adaptable and would often provide a solution to any issue brought to the table.

I believe Kang & Co Solicitors is based upon transparency, trust and integrity. I can assure you will receive an excellent bespoke service from beginning to end also have some light at the end of the tunnel during a time when the family is at its knees.

My sincere regards to the entire Michelin 5* team at Kang & Co Solicitor’s.
