Traffic law

Staying mobile.
Representing your rights with purpose.

After an accident, in a vehicle transaction or on receiving an official letter, the correct legal assessment matters. We assist private road users, businesses and institutions with contractual, liability and traffic-related administrative law issues.

Discuss your matter

Accidents. Vehicle contracts. Driving licences.

YOUR MATTER

Private travel.
Business responsibility.

The driver, vehicle keeper and owner need not be the same person. Injured parties, businesses and insurers also have different positions. We clarify these roles before assessing claims or available options.

Private road users

We assist with accidents, vehicle contracts and administrative measures. This also applies to cyclists, pedestrians and riders. Your actual involvement and the rights affected determine the assessment; use of a car is not assumed.

Businesses & vehicle fleets

We assist with the procurement, leasing and use of business vehicles. In accidents, we consider ownership, keeper status and business use. Contract terms, responsibilities and possible recourse issues are brought together.

Institutions & responsible individuals

We review vehicle and repair contracts and handle losses for your organisation. Where allegations or driving licence issues concern individuals, their own legal position is considered separately. An engagement by an organisation does not automatically include personal representation of everyone involved.

OUR SERVICES

From the accident
to the vehicle contract.

We assess both the pursuit of your own claims and responses to claims and allegations. Ownership, use and responsibility provide different starting points.

Road accidents and liability

Clarifying events and the contributions of those involved.

We advise injured parties on possible compensation claims, and those facing claims on assessing their responsibility and possible objections. We analyse the accident, evidence and parties' roles. Keepers, drivers and owners are distinguished. Accidents involving cyclists, pedestrians, riders or animals are also assessed according to the applicable bases of liability and the specific circumstances.

Accident claims and insurance

Preparing clearly supported heads of loss.

We help injured parties legally assess repairs, diminished value, loss of use and personal injury. When claims are brought, we examine the individual items and supporting evidence. Your own vehicle damage cover is considered separately from the liability of the other party to the accident. We assist with correspondence with those involved and insurers, and coordinate necessary expert input.

Vehicle purchases and defects

Examining the agreed condition and actual state.

We advise buyers on defects, promised characteristics and possible claims after purchase. We help sellers draft contracts and assess complaints. We consider the advertisement, contract, handover and subsequent findings together. Private and commercial transactions may be subject to different rules; guarantees and statutory defect rights are assessed separately.

Leasing and vehicle return

Assessing use and final charges against the contract.

We assist lessees with contract terms, defects and returning a vehicle. We advise lessors and other parties on their own contractual positions. We examine mileage, wear and tear, damage and the basis of additional charges. The supply contract, lease and any insurance are not treated as equivalent, but considered in their interaction.

Workshops and repairs

Comparing the instruction, work and invoice.

We help vehicle keepers and customers with repair scope, delays and defects. We advise workshops on structuring work orders, remuneration and assessing complaints. We examine estimates, approvals and documentation. In disputes over the technical cause or quality of work, we clarify the need for expert assistance.

Administrative fines, penalty points and driving bans

Carefully assessing the allegation and stage of proceedings.

We assist affected individuals with traffic-related administrative offences and assess possible consequences. We review the notice, case file and specific allegation. For driving bans, we consider the legal requirements and personal or professional effects. Whether a measure can be challenged or its timing influenced depends on the individual case.

Driving licences and administrative proceedings

Legally assessing the authority's requirements.

We advise driving licence holders and applicants on administrative measures, fitness-to-drive issues and possible reissue of a licence. We examine the grounds, documents requested and stage of proceedings. Medical or psychological assessments are conducted by the responsible specialists; we assist with the legal aspects. Driving bans and licence revocation are considered separately in terms of their requirements and consequences.

Vehicle fleets and business mobility

Connecting procurement, use and responsibility.

We assist businesses and institutions with vehicle contracts, internal usage rules and handling losses. We advise responsible individuals or employees under their own engagement on claims brought against them. Keeper duties, handovers and recourse issues are assessed against the actual organisation. Employment law issues are also considered separately where necessary.

WORKING TOGETHER

From your concern
to your next decision.

We distinguish accident claims, contractual questions and administrative proceedings. This allows the steps and deadlines relevant to your matter to be addressed first.

  1. Establishing the facts and role

    We record the accident or contract, the people involved and your position. For official notices, service and deadlines are checked first.

  2. Assessing documents and options

    We review evidence and clarify which files or expert reports are required. We discuss the claim, opposing position, approach and costs.

  3. Handling claims, negotiating or representing

    We conduct the agreed correspondence and represent your interests in the appropriate proceedings. Any settlement is assessed against the scope and consequences of its terms.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Initial
Guidance.

An initial guide to common questions. Your legal position, the documents and the facts determine the assessment of your individual case.

Legal information: 1 November 2026

How long is the time limit for objecting to an administrative fine notice?

The law generally provides two weeks from service. Formal requirements, the competent authority and the precise date of service must be observed. An enquiry to the firm does not preserve the deadline. Tell us the date of receipt and provide the complete notice promptly.

Are a driving ban and revocation of a driving licence the same thing?

No. A driving ban restricts driving motor vehicles for a specified period. Revocation by the driving licence authority extinguishes the licence. The requirements, consequences and subsequent procedure differ and are assessed separately.

Can the purchase of a defective car be reversed immediately?

Rescission requires the relevant statutory and contractual conditions to be met. Depending on the circumstances, a request for cure may be required first; exceptions must be assessed separately. We consider the defect, events to date and the parties' status before a particular claim is asserted.

Do you also represent cyclists, pedestrians and riders?

Yes. Actual involvement in the incident is decisive for the assessment. We examine possible claims and objections based on the events and applicable rules. The involvement of animals and the relevant insurance may also be significant.

Do you also assess claims against alleged accident causers?

Yes. We assess the basis of liability, losses claimed and available evidence. We take account of existing liability insurance and coordination with the insurer. Representation is provided from the position for which we have been instructed.

Can a driving ban definitely be avoided?

No responsible guarantee of that kind can be given. We assess the allegation, evidence and legal options in the specific case. Personal or professional consequences are one consideration, but do not replace the statutory requirements.

Can businesses instruct you on individual fleet matters?

Yes. The engagement may concern, for example, a lease, a vehicle return, an accident or internal usage rules. We clarify the organisation, roles affected and desired scope. Representation of individual employees is assessed separately.
